Sunburst dial...
I was out this weekend enjoying the last rays of the summer sun.
Sadly the summer here in Sweden are comming to an end, it has already started to get chilly in the evenings and soon the leafs on the trees will start to turn into autumn colours...
I know the black dial version of this watch are "rarer" and more sought after, but when the sun is out, the silver-white sunburst dial comes to its full right!
Honestly, I don't see myself trading this one for a black dialed version (but I can easily see myself making the pair! 
).
Love the way the sun light and the clouds reflection plays on the dial!
Ever changing, highlighting one detail one second...
Just to conceal it in the next...
It is a devilish beauty - it is the 666!

re: so many pieces...
... haha, Blomman, it is very kind of you to say, we only share some pieces, mine can't beat yours actually :-))) mine, serial is 1.3 mil which means mine is earlier that yours as it housed 8521 instead of 8531! mine i brought it from Zurich when i stoppe...

Memo Parking, Ref 3072, AMVOX I, E872, ... The list goes on! ;) Best Blomman PS. PM sent.

... yes, you are right, there are more watches that share the same :-) just PM sent you, please check this time again! stefan
Totally classic blomman...
Way better than the current IWC pieces. Wishing you a warm autumn in Sweden! Best, -- Richard.
Totally agree, Richard!
Thank you, my friend! :) Hope you will enjoy, now when summer are heading your way. Best Blomman
I hoping for a long warm autumn...
It's been a long hot summer here, nearly 32 °C everyday :-( Best! -- Richard.
Blomman's... The only shop I know who always buys, never sells. :)))
What can I say... This is a beautiful example, with a superb dial, which fits your amagnetic theme so well! Yes, I see a black sister in your future. And one without date. Bravo, my friend. All the best. Nicolas
Not a shop, it is a storage!
And you are all welcome to "store" your watches here! ;) Well, yes a black dial would make me very happy! With or without date, I am not that picky... But honestly, I would rather see my next IWC to be a early Aquatimer... Black, no applied logo! Mmmmm......
Normally I prefer black dials...
But this one is hard to resist! :) Thank you, Jed! Best Blomman
beautiful watch and pictures Blomman!
the white dial really stands out with the end of summer light! Matt
Very nice!
The light dial surely has a lot of wrist presence. I'm impressed by the way you captured it photographically.
With a dial like this...
no need for photo skills! ;) Thank you, yes - it is a lovely watch! Best Blomman
lovely piece. i have a 64 piece on my watchlist, but doubt i'll ever afford it
thats sods law as we say over here. if its something you really want then you cant afford it. thats what i find anyway :) Enjoy G
Sods law ....
Yes, I had that a lot lately... :( Hope you get you 64! :) Best Blomman
Hey Blomm, what a great...
... piece that is. And excellent photographs to boot. Sorry the weather is changing for you in the land of cold, but think of this... you've got an absolutely beautiful IWC 666 to wear whatever the weather. best, - Scott
Thank you, Scott -but...
That is a very small comfort when it will be 1 meter of snow outside... ;) Best Blomman
Function and elegance...
What a lovely 'tool-watch' - it's gorgeous. In my humble opinion the silver dial looks really good on this watch. Best wishes, Vernon
Normally I prefer black dial...
But some references - the white/silver dial is more appealing, IMO. This is one, the other would be Rolex 1019.... :) Thank you, Vernon! Best Blomman
wonderful, wonderful piece - my congratulations!
I am so hunting for a ref 666 or 866 silver dial as well. my other cal 85xx says hello...with a couple sunbursting back :) ...
Great lineup of IWC's, Shing!
Yes, a 666 or a 866 would fit right in to your collection! :) Best Blomman
Lovely Swedish late summer pictures...
... I probably would prefer the white for the black Best Hans
Hello dear Blomman! Sorry i found this post rather late!... But ...
... I wished to tell you that I can well understand your fondness for this watch. Mine got a bad plexi, and couldn t find an original replacement yet. Not in such a good shape as yours, I enjoy wearing it so much anyway! Have a nice week my friend! ...
Never too late, dear Abel!
Thank you for joining the 666 post! :) Always a pleasure to see a fellow Ingenieur! Best Blomman
