black is my favourite dial. The white is always going to be confused with the Daytona. However, I find the chronograph much less usable and now it cant measure more than an hour. Well can't have it all. Tomba
very understated with the dial color but the finishing looks good and rich in person. I haven't seen the iwc in person. The JLC complicated dial seems natural and harmonious to me but the IWC is better off with the date only.. I don't like the 3 registers on the patterned dial seems out of place.
and TBH I like your dial more than the perpetual I have. I was considering getting it to complete the pair.. but restrained myself. your post brought back the cravings.. th big date is overall layout is more beautiful. I like the day and night indicator especially how it done with sun and moon cutou
but totally agree.. the movement was a low point for me too.. nothing special about it. not clear from the pictures, but does it have better movement finishing than the usual man produced one.. if yes, I would have assumed they give it a new movement designation... so now I assume its the usual move
