NEW IWC Pilot Spitfire IW326801 | MKS

[topgun_88]

Hello Everybody,
I have just seen this simple beauty on a TrustyTime shop and I think it is one of the cleanest and easy to wear watch ever made.
What do you think about it? And what about MKS models?

Great to see this one get released! MKS make decent reps, hopefully XF follows up with their version of it soon!

Only problem for me is MK is 9015 only. Not sure why they don't use ETA clones anymore.

Hmm I think it is only a selling choice. The Myota costs a lot less in comparison with the ETA and probably they thought it would be easily to sell this watch at 300$ instead of 600$. My opinion.

I hope it too!! fingers crossed

Not sure about the colours of the rep.
Maybe it's only the lighting...
Must see some QC pics first.

Miyota 9015 is ok for me.
Very reliable, and not too noisy.

IWC MKS Spitfire Picture from my dealer. According to him the black one will indeed have a ceramic case

Anyone know if the case allows for the Miyota to be tossed out and an ETA be put in?

Trusty Time sells the black dial on nato green strap not only for the ceramic one.

I dont understand 100% what you mean. Above pictured are the new MKS models of the Spitfire, the black one will indeed feature a ceramic case like gen whereas the other "colors" will be stainless steel.

Expect the black one to be 30-40$ more expensive than the stainless steel version.

I’m sorry. I wanted to say that on the Trusty Time shop there is available the IWC black deal also in Stainless steel. It is Not only available with the ceramic version

Hello
in your opinion what is the more "gen like" between:

• the MKS IW326801 (Spitfire)

• and the M+F IW327007 (Mark XVIII )

https://puretimewatch.io/mark-xviii...n-black-dial-on-green-nylon-strap-a35111.html

I know that they are different models but very similar. In particular I like the green Nato strap but the one of the M+F seems too green.

Rep straps are typically junk - likely no exception here - buy which ever you prefer and put another strap on later. It's not like its a bracelet.

Totally agree. The swipe is necessary for rep strap.

Any reviews of it yet?

Did anyone end up buying this and could post some QCs?
