    Here is my attempt at a Yin Yang picture. It's quite hard, I took about 10 pictures with different shutter speeds and picked the best. There are still some reflections visible in the black dial so I have to take another try someday.

    Besides the Yin Yang picture, here are a few other pictures of both of the watches.

    Black dial Portugese Perpetual 502103:

    A nice detail is that all the small hands related to the date are in gold and that the hands for the power reserve and the small seconds hands are silvered. In the picture below you can clearly see that in the closeup:
    sibon.triple-it.nl/images/stories/IW502103/502103_2_20130302.jpg

    The one you already know: Portuguese Perpetual Pisa:

    sibon.triple-it.nl/images/stories/IW502117/502117_3_20130302.jpg

    On the Pisa, only the power reserve hand has a different color which is shown in this closeup:
    sibon.triple-it.nl/images/stories/IW502117/502117_4_20130302.jpg

    I am very happy with this pair of Perpetuals, the black dial Portuguese is my first watch with a golden color. A while ago I said that this wasn't something I would wear but I was completely wrong! It's such a nice warm color and it is a pleasure to look at it.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    PS: I acquired the black dial PPC in December 2012 (as a matter of fact on the evening the world was supposed to end) and have tried hard to keep it a secret but with the contrast issue at the live stream and the option to have a Timelapse recording while having a live stream at the same time made it impossible to keep in in the safe. I hope you aren't mad at me about it ;-)

    PS2: I got the watch from a much respected Forum member and leave it up to him if he wants to disclose his identity :-)

    Beautiful watches, Clemens. I really like the Yin Yang shot and the details of the black dial.

    Congratulations on the new acquisition -- and nice drive-by reveal. A pair of PPCs is a collection all by itself.

    The separate shots look great. And anytime the PISA appears it is ok with me.

    My attempt at Yin and Yang. Hard to do as you say. I really like the individual shots. The new IWC is spectacular. I look forward to seeing it soon...actually both of them

    Thanks for posting your picture Bill. I will see if I can find a better background. The only thing nice on my attempt is the gold of the moon on the black dial PPC :-)

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Thanks Dick. I was inspired by another respected Forum member when he posted a cookie-box with 4 Big Pilot Perpetuals ;-) You see, I still have some work to do and I am still several watches behind. When we had our meeting last year with six double moonphase perpetuals I already felt it was a dangerous thing to do. Being so close to so many beauties must have triggered something, maybe a mutation of the virus?

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    clemens, what a covert reveal. yes i am a bit 'mad' that you kept it secret for so long (how could you???) =P

    all i have to say is both look gorgeous... looking forward to some wrist shots of your latest PPC.

    congrats,
