Very sharp looking. I have been contemplating one myself. My problem is, even though I have small wrists, I still love the Big Pilot, so not sure if I want to hold out for that instead.
How long have you had it, and how is it wearing for you so far?

Beautiful, been looking at IWC lately, they have some nice pieces. Recently tried on Le Petit Prince in blue, at 43mm it’s at my limit. What size is your Mark 18?

I've loved the Mark XVIII ever since it was announced in 2016. It's a perfect watch. I'm actually not sure why I don't own one yet.

Looking great on you!

Thank you for the compliments. It is a 40mm watch. My wrist is about 6.5 inches. I like the size. 40mm is my sweet spot for sporty watches, maybe a little smaller for dress.

Have a Mark XVIII LPP and it's certainly one I haven't shaken yet.

Love this watch , esp the LPp and may be a near-future acquisition- do you have leather strap as well? Not sure which I prefer

I only have the bracelet, but have been hunting for a few good straps. I am from the camp that it's always easier to add an aftermarket strap but not an OEM bracelet.

I have the LPP on the strap, I love it. I have owned a few marks over the years and the blue dial on the LPP is my favorite of them all. It is such a comfortable watch to wear, I am very happy with mine.

Here is mine. I swapped out the Santoni strap for a rubber one I got from the IWC boutique, and I also upgraded to the deployant clasp. Makes it sportier. I love it!

Nice watch. If it was a little smaller and didn't have a date I'd probably own one too.

I like Calatravato’s new rubber deployant strap! Is that from the boutique in NYC?

I do concede that the original Santoni strap is attractive and comfortable.

It's truly a great watch. I ended up going with the vintage pilot, but considered the XVIII very seriously.

Thanks! Yes-both the deployant buckle and strap are from the boutique in NYC. I also like the Santoni strap, but just wanted to dress it down. Also wanted something durable as I am a compulsive hand washer.

Would be really interested in finding an OEM rubber strap for my 3777 but nothing seems to be in 21mm lug width
