Nice, I can see you going onwards until you have all 4 dial colours and all the straps.Got them for my white XX, the Mercedes/Petronas green is a great colour my pic doesn't capture it well. The light blue would look good on a blue dial.
The Mark XX really is an excellent watch.
That would indeed be a nice collection to have but not a reality for me, I have been very tempted with the blue dial but realised it would be a bit silly of me.
Ever since I picked up the green last year I've headed down the rabbit hole,
I do think the white offers the most versatility and is currently my go to at the moment. I'm also done with straps for now but will add the orange rubber at some point.
I have the green one for my chrono. Currently only dark blue for my 43.Got them for my white XX, the Mercedes/Petronas green is a great colour my pic doesn't capture it well. The light blue would look good on a blue dial.

Do you have any others for your chrono? I'm currently trying to work out what else would work with the green dial on mine.I have the green one for my chrono. Currently only dark blue for my 43.

I'm guessing that it would be green or green as any other strap colour would probably clash with the green dial? My personal opinion of course.
I’ve just had this made by David Cordes. Shell Cordovan leather so will patina and darken over time. Dave is my preferred strap maker for my Panerais. Should arrive next week.
I’ve also ordered one of these in tan. Never used them before so don’t know what the quality will be like.

Both will work with my blue 43 and my green chrono.
I’ll post photos once they’ve arrived.

As this thread just popped up I decided to wear mine today.
Its on a plain black leather strap with off white stitching and a very plain buckle it looks understated and superb.
IWC should use this handset more its far more distinctive and just looks right.
