Hi guys,
I think need some time to get used the new forum. Anyway, I need your opinion about Mark XVI. What can you teel me about accuracy, caliber(which I think is an ETA 2892), and problems-malfuctions you faced> Any opinion appreciated.

It is a 2892 base, with IWC enhancements. The movement is among the most durable and accurate automatic movements ever produced in the entire Swiss watch industry. You can find out more by checking the archives.
Hi DImitris, I've been wearing the XVI as my daily watch for 14 months and it runs at -1/+3 secs/day depending on evening resting position, with no malfunctions etc at all.

I think is amazing when you think about the "Marks"- 10, 11, 12, 15... and going strong. A great design, with fine movements, and priced right- IWC did a wonderful job on these, and it is still going strong.

I am also very satisfied with my Mark XVI 3706629. In fact a beautiful watch! Comparing with my Mark XV in any case i prefer the Mark XVI. My best regards

Dimitris--
Quoting Keats(I think it's Keats), "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
Beauty, in the Mark XVI, is linked with pure functionality in glorious harmony. Further, everything that is said about its "workhorse" movement is entirely true. Finally, while not cheap, the Mark XVI will enable you to obtain a superb example of watchmaking art without sacrificing your children's college education. I can scarcely imagine you would be disappointed with its purchase.
Please keep the Forum posted as to your decision!
Cheers,
Donald

While the modified 2892 used in the Mark XV and XVI definitely isn't an 'in-house movement' (unlike the 89 used in the Mark X and XI for example), it is arguably the most accurate and reliable movement ever used by IWC.

Dimitris...My Mark XVI Spitfire was the first IWC watch I bought, and is still the most accurate and durable. I don't think you can go wrong with this great watch!
