My First Mechanical Watch - IWC 325301
Purchased new circa year 2000. Worn for a few years and then tucked away as I caught the watch bug, and more pieces came into my life.
But, I'd been thinking about this one for a while, and thinking too about making things simple. Last month while visiting NYC I dropped this off at the IWC boutique. It was a nice visit and we took some time to select a new strap and buckle - I have the original folding buckle, but wanted to try a tang buckle. Making it simple.
Very happy with how this turned out.

Wonderful watch Steve
Always loved the IWC pilots. Bought a XVI new years ago, but the XV is a beauty, as are some of the earlier ones. Tough to find in great shape now ;-)
The mk xv., pilot's is very comfortable to wear.
Perfect semi tool and casual watch. I have the white dial version. It's a cool pilot's watch. 😎 Geross 👍 ...
My was also my first mechanical watch!
Mark xvi bought in 2008. Great first watch. All the best, Saz ...
I've Got the White Dial Too
Probably ought to get it serviced and then do a few pics of both together.
One of IWC's best
I was lucky enough to find a near mint example a couple of years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite watches. ...
That's a Beauty
I'm going to need to switch to a real camera to hang with you guys. Fortunately, I've got a few... No more iPhone pics from me.
Thanks
Shot with a 12 year old Sony Cybershot, I'm sure your iPhone has a better camera
The Mark XV is by far my favorite...
I'm hoping for IWC to introduce a smaller diameter Mark - even 39mm would be great but 38mm ideal - without date window for their next update. Yes, I know I'm just dreaming.
