IWC Mark XVIII White dial... Or is it Silver?
IWC Mark XVIII White dial... Or is it Silver?
Now that I proudly own both the White/Silver and Black dial IWC Mk. XVIIIs, I felt obliged to post some shots highlighting the watch, but not so much with it's black-dial brother (#alldialsmatter), but more so against a Dornbluth Silver dial, which could technically pass in a "What's your favorite white dial?" WUSsy thread.
As you can see from the photos the IWC is certainly Silver but so bright head-on that it appears reflective white. The tricks this dial plays in different light is pretty amazing. I had originally thought the Dornbluth Silver was more white but as you can see it's far creamier in color than the IWC
Let me just say everything I said about the Mark XVIII Black stands, but admittedly, the reveal wasn't as awe-inspiring because I've had the Black version for awhile, so the Silver/White fell-in that same category of instant satisfaction because I somewhat knew what I was getting myself into. It's like all this time I've been on the longest new watch honeymoon and my newlywed wife decided to fly-in the maid of honor for some extra flavor!
Now for some crappy phone pics!

Great looking IWC! I find the black dial one a little boring (flame suit on), but the white/silver dial is so nice.

I want to eventually but my spring bar tool is beat to hell and I'd likely do too much damage.

That's hot congrats. I much prefer it to the black too. Been looking at those for some time.
How do you like the size ?
What's the case size on the Dornbluth by the way?

Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!
Re: IWC Mark XVIII White dial... Or is it Silver?
Size is 40x11 (feels thinner) and the Dornbluth is 42x11.5 (feels far thicker)
The size is why I bought it twice. It's absolutely perfect for my 6.8" wrist. If you ever miss the wearability of the 14060,16710,16570 then it's worth a try.
