@@watchmakerjd8525 Hello again. Have you ever had a chance to disassemble Mark XVIII? Im very curious about origins of the movement inside. Most sources point to ETA 2892A2, but the number of jewels don't match with IWC 35111 specifications-25vs21. Ive found some sources claiming its actually Sellita 300-1, that has in fact 25 jewels?

Thank you so much for the video, I have a Mark 18 and was always curious to know what was inside. How different is it from a regular ETA 2892? It looks very high quality with all the decorations and finishing. Thanks.

ETA based, but heavily modified. And adjusted to 6 positions

Mine seems to run about +2.4 s/day which explains the original set up!

@@chris_ackroyd There ain’t nothing wrong with +2.5 If that’s not good enough for your daily needs, buy a quartz.

[@mrgregpappas]

Similar question as below. From a person that knows about these movements, how much different/tune is the IWC movement vs the out of the box ETA?

[@chris_ackroyd]

I would appreciate the camera work more if the auto focus was turned off

[@Zzzzalazar]

I wouldnt advice to touch that much the dial,it is painted and touching too much it always leave marks as to see in this video,I know this remark will ubset you but its something I felt worth it to say.

Did you really need to remove the rotor just to remove the crown stem?
