New IWC Mark 17 Le Petit Prince
- Thread starter jamztio
- Start date
If I would be in your position I would decide to send it back. They are TD's here for some reason right?
One of the reasons is just to keep us "customers" always satisfy with the quality of the watch and the service itself, it doesnt work like this
- send -> don't care.
They are making huge business in here and we are giving them hefty amount of money every day, every weekend, every month, every year...
Ryan should provide you service and solutions to solve this whole situation.
This is the future lesson to pay attention when You recieve QC pics to review them properly or create new topic with adressed questions.
Unfortunately it's a very subtle defect, hardly visible on pictures and impossible to fix unless other watches do not have the same flaw.
I am afraid all the batch has the same issue, hence Ryan cannot do much.
If I am mistaken, I do hope so, Ryan can just provide a spare dial...no need to ship the watch back and forth.
That said, it would be very helpful to get feedbacks from other buyers.
Ryan said he can help me, but then I have to pay the shipping cost plus the risk of it disappearing in transit.
He will only pay for the shipping from China. I don't know if it's worth the risk? Should I just live with it?
No, do not ship it back unless you want to replace the watch with a different one, if Ryan agrees (classic Mark XVII or the chrono Le petit prince?). You are not even sure other watches from the same batch have a straight dial.
You can also consider to sell it if the flaw bothers you so much.

Before shipping the watch back to China, you should think whether it would be worth of it or not.
If I were you, I would not ship it back to China because it is quite risky no matter the seller is a TD in RWI and the seller reimburses the shipping cost. Finding a watchsmith will be less risky than shipping it back to China. Thus, the best option that I would think about is request him to ship another dial then go to a shop to take care of it.

I appreciate for your reply back to me.
Hmm 3777 is chrono which means that would not be reliable because of the movement I guess.
I have not seen any good feedback of 3777 but maybe I couldn't find it though.
3777 is consider an excellent rep, you can ask member higginsd to get a confirmation.
Movement 7750s with seconds at 9 are not that bad (they can actually be very good, same as 2892 or 2824). 7750s with seconds at 6 are ticking bombs, well known not to be reliable.
I just received my MK QC pics and they look fine to me. Even the numbers 5 and 7 are not as close to the edge as yours. Odd...
I have the little prince chrono version and its been working fine for me. Except for the dial color, most of the watch is spot on with the gen.
WoW, dial seems to be an updated version.
which dealer did you get the QC from?
Any chance to see the caseback as well?
Thanks buddy

Here you go guys..
The dial is awesome on this one. I think the factory is really taking note of our comments.
