Mark XVIII – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

V7 Factory Replica IWC Mark 18 Titanium Watch with 2892 Movement

Not too many new replica watches were published in our market after the raid, especially in IWC. As the biggest watch manufacturer who makes the best IWC replicas, ZF did not bring new IWC watches in this year. Today, I went to our watch market and found many watch stores were closed, there are not too many people buying watches there, a lot of stalls waiting for rent, so we see that the COVID-19 has caused a big influence in this industry, so did the raid. Today, I want to talk about an IWC replica watch from V7 factory, which is not too famous here, this watch is also not a new IWC, in 2019, a factory named M+F already made it, and so did MK factory. The entire watch is full of military style, I love this style very much before, but now I like a watch with clean and fresh style more.

IWC Pilot must be one of the most attractive military watches, especially its sub-series Mark, which has come to Mark XVIII edition. About IWC Mark series, its dial elements, unique engravings on case back and strap design, all of these make you want to consider it when you need to buy a military-style watch.

The watch is full of vintage flavor, its Titanium case looks not as bright as stainless steel, the Titanium case and case back are satin-finished, so is the clasp, on its black dial, the luminous material applied on hour markers and hands is not white, it looks a little yellowish, which is completely in line with the darken Titanium tone on its case. The band is made with brown leather, it is the last piece to make such a low-key but perfect replica watch.

It is a very simple watch, so there are no difficulities when making a perfect replica of of this watch, the dial details you can see from these pictures are already good enough, when you show this watch in front of your friends, they are not able to tell it is a fake, even a watch expert will say it is a genuine watch. By the way, V7 factory offers two movement options for this replica watch, one is a clone 2892, the other is a real Swiss ETA 2892.

IWC Mark series was specially offered as a military watch in the past, now it has a lot of anniversary models. After almost one hundred years, the appearance of IWC Mark does not have too much change, its simple and elegant design is loved by many people. IWC Mark, which was exclusively supplied for the British Pilots, has left a lot of memories for us. Also as a pilot watch, Breitling looks more professional, Zenith Pilot has more retro flavors, compared with them, IWC Mark is more practical, classic and durable.

GS is a factory that only made some ladies watches in the past, the Longines PrimaLuna replica they made has a good quality. About this IWC Mark XVIII IW327006 replica, two factories are making it, GS and V7. In machine, V7 installs a genuine ETA 2892, but the price is expensive. GS factory uses an Asian clone ETA 2892 movement inside the replica, it is based on our Sea-Gull 2892, so the replica has a cheaper price, more cost-effective than V7’s. Before we go a deep review of replica IWC Mark XVIII Titanium Watch, let’s check its specification first.

The Lume light is green and lasts for a long time. At 3 o’clock, date is displayed through a small square window, date font is white and has the correct thickness. More important, the date font is centered in the window, not too right or too left.

Genuine IW327006 titanium watch is equipped with IW35111 in-house movement, which is actually developed from Swiss ETA 2892. The replica uses a Sea-Gull 2892, which has the same construction as ETA 2892, maybe the decoration on rotor and movement plate is different, but the watch has a solid case back, so I do not care the decoration, as long as it is stable. Absolutely if you do care about the subtle details, you can install one genuine ETA 2892 inside the replica by yourself, it is easy. The improved Sea-Gull 2892 movement of the replica has the same winding feel, its date adjusting direction is also correct.

Another Great Work From MK Factory – Replica IWC Pilot Mark XI with Green Nylon Strap

IWC Pilot Mark XI Replica

IWC Pilot always attracts me by their military watch outlook. And among all Pilots watches, Mark series is the most popular. On our market, there are two main factories that are replicating IWC Mark watches, they are MK and V6. Maybe you have bought good quality ones from other small factories, but I have to say they are not in top quality, the best Mark series replicas must come from MK and V6. Actually one friend of mine introduced the Mark XVI replica made by MK factory before on his website at Susanwatches.ru. And now the watch has become a best seller once being introduced on his site. Besides Mark XVI, there are other models that are also perfectly cloned, including Mark XVIII and XVII. Today, I went to our watch market again, and found a new art work on the storefront of MK factory, it is IWC Mark XI, firstly I was attracted by its green nylon band. I love watches with nylon strap. When I checked it carefully, I found its dial design is distinctive, Mark XI has an unique dial that is different from other Mark models. And the green nylon band and unique dial design make Mark XI so special among those watches in MK factory store. So I borrowed this replica watch from the factory and took some photos to share with you guys.

Let us see the dial first. It is in black white white markers and printings. Hands are completely different other IWC Mark series’. Have you noticed the hour hand, it is reverse. Hour markers use Arabic numbers except a big triangle mark at 12 o’clock. Date window is set at 3 o’clock, on the left side of the 3:00 hour marker. The dial also has other subtle difference if you compare Mark XI and Mark XVII or XVIII. Green nylon band is also one highlight. Nylon strap is a great match for the watch, it is perfectly in line with the military theme of the watch. One pair of distressed leather band could also create such effect, but a modern alligator leather strap will not.

Case is made of 316L stainless steel and brushed. It is measured to be 40mm in diameter. From side view, the case has a nice arc degree, so this ensure the watch could fit your wrist perfectly. Crown uses screw-in construction like genuine and there are delicate engravings. On solid case back, there are six notches that are exclusive to IWC Mark series. Great polishing work you can see on the back. Opening the case back, you will find a soft iron cage that is antimagnetic between case back and movement, which is the same as genuine Mark XI. By the way, the bracelet is polished beautifully. The front face is brushed while its edges are polished. There are also “IWC” on the front and other engravings on back side. The buckle pin is polished. Now at last, the watch specification will be listed below:

Black dial echoes with black ceramic case, the white markers, hands and dial printings increase readability to the replica. The dial design of Top Gun Miramar is too different from other IWC watches, the red circle is for users to read hours, these white Arabic numbers like 5, 10 are displaying minutes, while the most outer white markers are for seconds display. There is a small square date window positioned at 3:00 lying on the red circle. To increase visibility, the white date font is in black background.

If you have ever bought one IWC Mark replica, you will know the best one is equipped with a ETA 2892 movement, so is this Mark XVIII. Other versions are not as stable as this one. The band also offer wearer the greatest satisfaction, because the outer material is nylon while the inner lining is black leather, there are some mysterious words on the leather lining like “BTAI” and “BTAN”, could someone here tell me the meaning of these words?
