hi
this is my first time on this forum.
The IWC Mark XV is my grail watch. I am hoping to buy one over the next year or so. I have a couple of queries:-
- I would prefer one that has anti reflective coating, how do I ensure that i get one with that ?
- Can one buy an IWC OEM strap for a Mark XV ? what about a deployant buckle ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Brendan
Hello Brendan,
Look for one with SWISS MADE at the 6:00 position. That should give you the AR coating you desire. Early production year models with T SWISS MADE T ( T = Tridium Lumen) I don't believe had the AR coating applied.
Any Authorized Dealer or IWC Boutique can order the OEM Buffalo strap and /or deployant buckle. There is also a super comfortable 19mm bracelet as an option. Not sure if that is still available, but can be found on the secondary market.
The MARK XV is a fabulous choice. IMO... one of the the best MARKS !
Let us know how the search ends.
Good Hunting,
Andy
