I wrote to the seller of this obviously fake XV. Normally I would just report it, but the seller has lots of 100% positive feedback and is offering an authenticity guarantee, which of course will fail spectacularly if eBay is doing their job. Not that …

So a few years ago the rubber strap on my Titanium Aquatimer. I finally got a hold of IWC and they wanted $250 for a replacement rubber strap. I had heard a number of years ago to spray the band with silicone and then put it in boiling water. I tried i…
Continue readingNew Ingenieur; I’m a Little Concerned
I’ve had my Ingenieur for about 1.5 months.
When it was new, it ran about +4 spd.
Now, it’s running about -4 spd.
Should I be concerned?
On the time grapher, the watch only runs fast in the 12 Down position, all others are slow..
Resting it 12 down overnight still results in the current -4 spd result.
I’d much rather have a watch that runs fast.
Am I being too picky?
I don’t even know if IWC has ever stated a rate requirement their watches will meet, have they?
Your comments?

Any IWC Mark XVI reviews out there (or how do you like your Mark XVI)?
I currently have a Stowa Antea 365 and am looking to purchase a second watch (which turns it from one watch into a collection, I suppose) and am strongly considering getting a used Mark XVI. But, I can’t find a lot of good reviews out there. Maybe I’m just bad at googling and there are some lengthy reviews. But for people who own this watch, what do you think? I have 6.25″ wrists, so I think the XVIII will be too big for me because of the significantly longer lug-to-lug length. Anyone with…

IWC Summer Straps
Just wondering whether anyone has one of the grey summer straps. It’s a light grey NATO strap. I’d love to see some real-l…

For fellow Ingenieur owners, just a friendly heads up that the extension clasps are no longer back ordered, they just replenished stock. Dialing in the size with extra longer links was handy for the butterfly clasp, but on really hot days when my wrist…
Continue readingAfter 16 years:
So after appreciating the IWC mark series for 16 years, I finally bought one. It was the first watch I really liked and it is what got me in to watches (it was Mark xvi back then). But every time I will look to get a watch, I will buy something else, …

Hi all,
Was hoping someone here might be able to help ID the watch on the right. Came across the image below on a WUS post about the IWC/PD Ocean. Tried to do an image search but that unfortunately returned results for the IWC/PD Ocean on its own.
TI…
