What Breitluc said! This perpetual calendar is so advanced and complicated, that once you set the date, the watch will keep the correct day and corresponding date for the next 392 years or something to that extent. But the drawback is that if you happen to accidentally PASS your current date, there is no way to work backwards. It needs to go to IWC to have the date reset. My father's perpetual Patek is the same way.

Yes it's annoying, but it's the price you pay for having such an advanced calendar function. You should keep it wound and running, but it's no big deal if it stops as bringing the date up to current is easy.



Thank yoU!!

...I hate this watch, because it's not mine :cryingbadly: :laugh:

When you're in Amsterdam just shoot me a PM, you can always try on my Perpetual Calendar

I think the movement has a stop second, so simply stop the watch for a day or a couple of hours?!?

Considering the date is at 2115 I would have to stop it for 99 years to let it catch up

Anyone here with 6.25 wrist can show me how the 500908 / 500912 would fit in?

It fits your wrist perfectly.
I love my XVI too

Considering you accidentially quick changed the date to 2115 you should either sell the Perpetual (and never touch one again) or better send it to IWC and let them do every needed quick change... Also let them solder the crown to the case, I think this is better for your own protection. SCNR

Thanks! It truly is a timeless piece.

Where did you get your bracelet? Didn't know there is a bracelet which fits the 39mm Mark XVI.

It is actually a Mark XVII bracelet and the endlinks fit is far from being perfect.

My wrist is 6.75, the watch might be a little too big for your wrist, but if you are used to wearing 44mm pams then you won't have a problem with it

Too big for a 6.25" wrist, choose a smaller watch.
