V7 Factory Mark XX Green

When talking about pilot watches, IWC's Mark series should definitely be on the list; They have a classic design. IWC's Big Pilot also meets people's need for a big Pilot watch. I remembered my first automatic watch, it was a Seiko, yes an original watch; Its design was very similar to the old IWC Mark series watches. The reason I bought this watch was because I was madly in love with IWC Pilot watches at that time. When I was new to this field, the first replica watch that I could call a super clone was a Mark XVI made by MK Factory; It's been a long time. Now the popularity of IWC Mark series replicas has decreased and the best source to get replicas of IWC Mark series watches is V7. First, they have a complete collection; Secondly, when IWC releases a new Mark series model, V7 is the first watch manufacturer to produce a replica. MK has now changed its name to MKS; They still make quality replicas of the IWC Mark series watches, but MKS does not update its catalog as quickly as the V7. What about ZF? They definitely have the power to produce Super clone IWC Mark series watches; They should give it a try and give us the original mechanism option. Why are they investing so much money into producing the Submariner? ZF is still trying to sell its Submariner and no one is buying it.

Dial and Hand Details

V7 released three Mark XX watches; Each one differs in dial color. There are green, black and blue dial options. The black and blue ones always look classic like the old IWC Mark series watches, but I like this green Mark XX more; It looks more fresh and modern.

Case and Body Workmanship

The case of the new Mark XX is still 40 mm in diameter like the Mark 18, but the case thickness has been reduced because the soft iron cover has been removed; the case is now 10.83 mm thick. The case has a brushed finish; There is a smooth, polished workmanship on its fluid-line edge, which resembles the workmanship of the bezel. The height and slope of the bezel are exactly the same as on the original watch. There is a plastic on the back of the case that protects it from scratches; You can also see a label on the case back with the V7 factory name. By the way, the airplane relief in the center looks nice, you will like it at first glance; But after comparing this logo with the original, you may not decide to buy the replica. Just like the S. L. C. logo on some replica Panerai watches, there are always differences.

The green dial looks beautiful and the level of finish is very high; both the hour markers and hour and minute hands have improved lume that looks strong, but I'm not sure if it will last as long as the original. Still, it's not the same as before; Now you cannot easily find fault with the dial of these super clone watches, every watch factory tries to make the dial as close as possible. But sometimes they neglect the workmanship of the relief on the case back; I have seen the relief engravings on many replica watches, their workmanship is good but it cannot be called first class. I think all watch factories need to pay attention to this.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Replica Mark XX has two movement options. One is the real Swiss made SW300, its price is higher. The other is a Sea-gull movement, which has a very similar appearance and the same function as the Swiss ETA 2892; we usually call it Asian 2892. The movement photo below shows an Asian 2892 movement. The Asian 2892 movement is also quite stable, but the SW300 is more sensitive; On the other hand, the SW300 replica is much more expensive.
