Anyone how much is the mark XV in metal bracelet. What's the norm discount for iwc? Also eyeing the Portuguese chrono.

Not sure about the Mark XV. But for Portuguese chrono auto, they're retailing at 11.1K. IWC normally gives 20 to 25% discount.

handmade? i attended the IWC course where they teach you how to strip and assemble movements last month.

i spoke to the watch makers. assembly is very much by hand. some parts are mass produced. while others are hand made.

anyway that class is very informative and eye opener

Was the course conducted in Singapore? I browsed through iwc.com. Seems like the case are machine manufactured and ya, only assembly is done by hand.

The other thing that impresses me about IWC is they claim that they have spare parts for any IWC watch, can be dated as far back to their founding since 1868. In fact, IWC keeps records of all watches leaving IWC, their s/n, model no, manufactured yr, AD, etc. Pay a small premium and it's said that they can help you to trace any IWC watch that is at least 10yrs old.

Impressive
