I have the XVI and I think it's a candidate for a perfect daily wearer. A sleek 39mm case, robust and accurate movement, and timeless design. It holds its own against any of my Rolex watches.

Why no Mark 13 or 14? The answer is simply due to superstition. The number 13 is considered unlucky in the US and Europe while the number 14 is considered the same in Asia. As to number 19, there are claims that it is considered unlucky in Japan.
