Any recent buyer of the IWC Mark XVI?

[Manray]

I just discovered this watch and I can't find any recent review of it. Is it discontinued? Why nobody talks about it?

I suppose it is not a very popular watch for 3 reasons

- diameter <40mm
- no ss bracelet available
- competition of the Mark XVII (larger diameter and it comes with ss bracelet as well)
- sold not at a cheap price for such a "simple" watch with no stainless steel bracelet and disappointing AR (mandatory upgrade)

That said, I love the Mark XVI but I am not a big fan of large watches, perfect size for me is 39-42mm

Good luck on your hunt

I love the Mark series. But I agree as well that the pricing for the XVI is just not attractive. The XVII comes with bracelet and free leather. But seriously if they offer the XVI at $100 I'd sure snap a piece
