Would you sell your IWC mark XVI for a Spitfire?

Perudo

Hello everybody

I just watched Max’s new video about the spitfire 👍🙏 very well done

I purchased a used Mark XVI recently for more or less the same reasons as evoked in his video and have been wondering if a spitfire would be an upgrade to the XVI? I love the XVI but it looks more formal, more classic than the spitfire. What about build quality of both in comparison? Is the Spitfire a “better” watch in terms of details, build quality and finishing?

The Spitfire uses an in-house movement whereas the Mark XVI uses a modified ETA if that's important to you.  The Spitfire will give you 72 hours of power reserve vs 42.  Other than that it's just aesthetics, imo.
