Hi all.
After being priced out of buying myself an IWC MK XVIII Le Petit Prince I've recently discovered the world of replica watches and realised that this is a way to get myself that particular watch. I'm looking for one with the steel bracelet having already tried on a genuine one and seeing how nicely it fitted my wrist.
As someone new to the seemingly confusing world of replicas it would be great and much appreciated if anyone could give me some advice on my potential purchase.
Many thanks, David

Check out the trusted dealer sub forum. See if one of them can source for you with the steel bracelet.

I'm not very familiar with that particular watch.

So as many people will tell you, you should take a look at the copious amounts of info already on the forum that should give you an answer to your question. But as someone who recognizes that the forum can be hard to navigate when you’re new, I will tell you that you really only have two factories to choose from for that watch on a steel bracelet. Those will be V7F and MKF. I don’t have any personal experience with this particular rep or those factories but people seem to like the V7F version and it’s cheaper. You can read more about it here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/iw327010-mark-xviii-v7-maker-vs-gen.8002553/

Whatever you decide, make sure you order through a trusted dealer so you can be confident you will get what you pay for. I tend to use Trusty Time or Jtime but they’re all trust worthy and have their own pros and cons.

Now that’s your only freebie. Next time I’ll just troll you for asking this kind of question. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Many thanks for your replies. You're right that the forum is quite bewildering to a newbie but your advice has already steered me in the right directions.
I've checked out the two dealers you use and Jtime sells an MKF for $354 and Trusty Time sell the V7F for $398.
I'll keep doing some research and hopefully I'll find the watch for me!
Cheers
