IW326802 Spitfire from SVF?

[Max Cady]

Hi Guys,

i ordered the MKF IW326802 Spitfire from Hont, today i got the QCs but he told me its from SVF - never heard of them before!
Search results are also slim, someone on reddit had the same (ordered mkf got svf) 5 months ago.

What do you guys think of the svf version compared to mkf?

I'm talking to hont at the moment wondering whether I should go with the svf.
Did you get it?

 

[Max Cady]

Yeah, i took it - but its still on the way and will take 2-3 weeks.
I saw you found the reddit thread, the guy is quite satisfied with it, so i took it too (i really want a bronze watch and the spitfire is the perfect size)

 

[Cooma10]

Yeah my thinking too. I have thought about the utc version, it's cheaper, but apparently the utc function doesn't work.

If its not too big for you, you can also check out the chrono IWC387902 from ZF, Li from Jtime told me last week its still available.

Hey max did you receive your spitfire yet? I'm about to pull the trigger and get it

 

[Max Cady]

Yes, i did receive it and i like it. I am no expert on this model, but to me it looks great!

Hey max, how’s this watch held up over the last year or so- movement and how’s the bronze looking after a year of wear? I really like it, tried it on in GEN today and wouldn’t mind getting one either mkf or svf (assuming there still available)

curious about long term quality to...

Hi, well i have to admit i dont wear it that often, but i still like it very much (its the perfect size for me).
Movement is still ok for a rep, it wasnt much better when i got it. I tried to take some pics.

thank you for the pictures - nice piece! do you know which movement is used by svf? can you tell us something about noise & power reserve? btw: the green strap looks awesome!

 

[Max Cady]

I am not absolutely certain, but pretty sure its a 9015 movement. Power reserve is not great on this rep movements (i have several 9015 watches, maybe a day), i can tell you tomorrow. Winding sounds a little bit "sandy", but otherwise its not noisy.
Btw, did you see this on reddit?
