I sold the 3706, not sure why I didn’t love it. The Mark XVI and XVIII gone too. Very nice looking watches, but just never perfect, the 18 feels too big at 40mm, Sinn 556A does a better job for me. And it’s “a bit” cheaper. The XVI is great and very well proportioned at 39mm, but the one I had was freshly serviced and still had some issues with power reserve and accuracy. I didn’t want to argue with the guy who serviced it as he took it back and said nothing was wrong after checking it over for a few days - just weird as it was definitely losing a significant amount of time when I had it. So yeah, that’s gone. I had an XVIII in the past which had a problem with “finding” the second position to change the date. Winding didn’t feel great. Overall, only the 3706 felt great and worked as it should, but overall I don’t think I’ll ever get another IWC.
