I’ve been wanting an IWC Mark XV for a long time. The market is inflated (20 year old watch with a modified ETA should not cost $4k unless it gets marked by enthusiasts, which it has). I technically could spring for one but it just feels silly. The watch you can get for that money now is miles beyond this watch. If 4k were to fall from the sky and I HAD to buy a watch with the cash, I would maybe, finally catch this grail of mine.

Happy birthday! It seems like others have already touched on how different straps might provide different wearing experiences. I know that I get “bracelet fatigue” with some of my watches and putting them on a good rubber, leather, or nylon strap can completely alleviate that issue.

Good to know about this, I’m less than 90min away above Baltimore. Won’t make this one but would like to make one soon!

commented on FXD Size Check (6.5" wrist) ·

Nice job doing the full body shot to give a better idea. I think it looks awesome on you. I’m of similar wrist size and prefer watches in the size range you mentioned. I was on the edge with size on this one as well. I think it’s a great match for you, your wrist and body overall.

Thanks! I have long admired orange Seiko divers as well!

A couple of these on my art desk would be pretty neat.

Doesn’t matter to me. Never had a 3 o’clock dog into my wrist. The Sinn I’m wearing now has it at 10 which is a little awkward for setting but I quickly got used to it.
