Finally made a decision to get the blue-dial edition (Le Petit Prince) of IWC's latest Mark XVIII. This watch will complemeny the Tudor Black Bay Blue that I got last year.

IWC Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince
I was all set to preorder one of these till I tried on the Le Petit Big Pilot at the preview. Doh!
I've decided to save my pennies... They both gorgeous watches though, congratulations! |

My pleasure Also, would you mind sharing a few more wrist shots please when you get a chance? It's on my potential short list and I would love to hear your thoughts on how it wears after a few days or weeks I prefer the blue dial too and how it changes in different light, although I think it would have been better if the date wheel was blue to match the dial rather than white. I like how the black dial has the matching date wheel.

I actually change the strap and buckle of the Le-Petit Prince. I got another alligator strap & buckle from IWC and replace the brown strap with the black strap so that I can play around with 2 straps in the future. Will definitely take a few shots too later on. So far, it looks great and the blue dial is really striking! IMHO, the white dial actually provides a good contrast. |

Thank you! I like the alligator strap - good choice After reading a few more reviews and seeing a few pictures, I'm warming to the white date disc and blue dial combination...
