    You asked for it and here it is, my Saturday with IWC :-)

    Today it's the Blue dial Doppel (Allan, are you watching???!!! LOL)

    I got a late start today:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140351.jpg

    Missed lunch so I had to do something about it and headed out:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140353.jpg

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140354.jpg

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140356.jpg

    Waiting at the take-out counter:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140357.jpg

    Back home for a late lunch:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140360.jpg

    Montreal's famous smoked-meat, yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140362.jpg

    Ready for something that's thirst quenching:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140363.jpg

    My preferred method is "peeling" the watermelon..........

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140364.jpg

    ....and then cutting it into pieces:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140365.jpg

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140366.jpg

    Outdoors:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140367.jpg

    Close up, but it was difficult to steady my hand for these shots:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140369.jpg

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140372.jpg

    Fast-forward to Saturday night and it was time for a strap change:

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140373.jpg

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Doppel%202010/L1140374.jpg

    Going from the Kevlar style strap to the pilot gator:

    Although this watch originally came with the Black gator, I acquired the Blue gator that came with the Blue dialed Platinum BP, which I think really compliments this watch!!!!!

    What do you think?

    That sensational blue dial really pops with the strap change. Sandwich doesn't look too bad either.

    Hi Nad,

    Excellent shots, loved the looks of that smoked-meat sandwich and your very original peeling method!

    Blue crocodile strap looks fantastic with that blue dial!

    Cheers!

    Nad,

    Any chance you could continue your daily report, till say, end of month? It would sure make for a great IWC August.

    Come on Nad...you know you want to !!

    Regarding the Blue BP strap ? All I can say is " BLUE WHOOOOOO, wish it was mine. Outstanding pairing.

    Wishlist growing,

    Andy

    That's a great looking doppel buts what's really grabbing me is the lunch. Can't get anything like that here, unfortunately. :)

    I'm with Andy, keep up the posts.

    A refreshing change for the watch - new 'shoes'. Great photos and thanks for sharing. If there is one ceramic chrono I need to get it is this one.

    Alan, I love the Kevlar type strap on your Carlson. Mine is aftermarket and it's OK.

    Please email me the strap source if it is not OEM, thanks!

    Nad,
    I bought that XS strap at the Schaffhausen boutique at the urging of MF. They changed the strap while I toured the museum. It compliments the watch much better than the pilot style gator strap it came with.
