    This is my first time to write in this forum.

    The reason of writing first time is that, I did not own any vintage IWC until now. This is my first vintage IWC watch and I am happy to share what I recently acquired.

    I am lucky (or maybe unlucky as piggie bank was broken) enough to have a chance to buy this Yacht Club R811 with green colour and matching date wheel. I suspect this is a lapis dial or marble as other mentioned. But for sure this was produced in very limited pieces (as I cannot find a lot other information online).

    There is another blue one that was surfaced. Wonder how many other variations are available.

    This is my photo and for sharing accordingly. Have a good week.

    These "marble" dials are a product of the 70's and were produced in red, blue, green and black, for the Yacht Club and also for other references.
    see this post.

    Hi - I’m researching marble dials - unfortunately the link in the thread has been lost. 
    I have never been able to find pictures of red or black marble dials, only green and blue, in yacht clubs and some similar models.

    Do you have any pictures?


    Kind regards, Nick
