Good Evening All:
Just got done with Thanksgiving dinner (Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating!)and like every year, my eyes were as big as a BP dial, but my stomach not so. I ate so much, I had to loosen the buckle on my Mark XVI. I feel like I now weigh a ton.
Speaking of WEIGHT, does anyone know if there is a reference/link available that lists the weight of current/past models? Also interested in any reference charting the "end to end" lug measurement (length of watch....not lug width).

Thank you for the reply.
It was very helpful in that it referenced the weight. I find this a comparison "plus" when a model is offered in various metals.
I was wondering Vahalis if you (or any other member) knows when more current workbooks are updated? For instance, I was looking for the workbook on a AT 3568 but could not find it. In addition, maybe someone might also know another spot to reference the "end-to-end" lug measurement as the workbook did not provide that specification. This information also would be helpful when comparing, especially for those who have smaller wrists.

If memory serves me correctly the Weeber machine was asked to not be updated, so nothing new from about 2007. That is my recollection of an earlier post but I may be hopelessly wrong. Feel free to correct by those who know.

Well, this would be a pity, in this way this Weeber site is losing its usability rapidly. Asked by whom, who could benefit from this: IWC? Why?
Kind regards, Paul
Yes ...it would be a pity. I found the information quite helpful and detailed. Where else could one go to get detailed spec's online? The annual cataloge only provides general spec's.
MF...any thoughts or inside info you can share with us ?

My 2 cents: notwithstanding that the weeber site is not updated, it is and in my opinion shall continue to be a very useful website for older models, and hope the site can continue to be live and accessible to all. it has been immensely useful to new members like myself, and will prove useful for those acquiring older pieces, especially for the first time.
Helpful sales staff has in my experience provided the information in person where available.
my other brand zenith not only does not provide such information (easily, anyway), but makes a point to omit even casing height information (weight info will be a dream) in all publications, including catalogs and dealer workbooks.
The workarounds in the face of restricted information - which I have no issues with and respect are the manufacturers' prerogatives - is to get my dealers to pull out a pair of calipers and/or simple electronic weighing scale to get the required measurements. Admittedly, I sometimes hog around both myself ! :) This I find is much faster even when the information is available.
Have a great week ahead everyone.

I also have access to current Workbooks and can can supply specific information on request. To the extent informstion exists, there's no need for complicated work-arounds. That's what this forum is for.

We will have to wait till Stefan uploads more recent workbooks. I don't know how to reach him, I can only hope he reads this.
Om smaller wrists: I'm afraid IWC stopped making watches for men with small wrists :(
