My New IWC Spitfire Automatic | Hands On Review
About this video
Sacawa discusses his recent purchase of the IWC Spitfire automatic watch, explaining his military background and why he chose this model over alternatives like vintage military watches and the IWC Mark 18. He details the watch’s design elements, specifications, and how he sourced it through eBay’s authenticity guarantee service at a discounted price.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues the Spitfire’s 39mm case size and design offer a better wear experience compared to the Mark 18’s 40mm, despite the minimal difference
- Sacawa recommends using eBay’s authenticity guarantee service when purchasing luxury watches, as it provides verification, original documentation, and peace of mind
- Sacawa values the Spitfire’s patina on certain elements, tool watch functionality, legibility, and versatility, finding it offers exceptional value compared to similarly-priced Mark 18 configurations
