SW300 or A2892: V7F Mark XX

[IWCW205]

Hello, all. Long time lurker, short time member and this is my first thread, so cut me some slack!

I am looking into picking up another IWC Pilot, this time a Mark XX. I have a gen Mark XVII, a rep (A2892) Mark XVIII, and another rep XX with a 2892. I am quite familiar with the feel of the A2892 (which mostly tend to be Sea-Gull movements, right?), power reserve, etc. Is the SW300 that much of an advantage? Especially in the subjective things, feel of the wind, noise, etc.

I am still doing my research. If someone has a V7F with the SW300, I would love to hear about your experience. Thanks for reading.

Here’s another member who just made the same switch, he probably has the answers you’re looking for

Little tips for swapping Gen SW300 into a V7F Mark XX

Just finished swapping a2892 from V7F Mark XX with a gen SW300. My Mark XX came with very low amplitude and poor time keeping. QC was fine, but I assume the TD regulated the watch prior to shipping (the regulator screw was turned all the way up). But by doing so, they must have pressed too hard...

Great writeup! And thanks.

I was wondering about the ones from the factory, as they offer a paid upgrade. But this is very useful.
