The black dial might have better contrast and 'readability', but it doesn't have that blued hand.

A Mark XV can fit almost any occasion
Does the Mark XV console you? I used to have a white one like your but foolishly decided there wasn\'t enough contrast between dial and hands. Are all watch designers under 40 and equipped with perfect vision? Cheers Cazalea

I sort of knew that ...
... but it was too good an opportunity not to get a photo. And an excuse to post the IWC Mark XV. :-) Andrew Ps. I will have to get back for the December "Journey Through Time" exhibition.
