Two times Mark XV

I already had a Gadebusch, as from today a classic brother joins him.

For the moment a bad IPad pic

Very nice picture, love the symmetry and contrast!

Wear them in good health.

Beautiful and peaceful, Yin and Yang.

Two more pictures

Great catch, two real classic IWC watches !

The clean classic design makes for a couple of very handsome "brothers!"

Absolutely beautiful! And perfect that you have them both.. Wear these two classics in good health.

It's like a duet singing to me...

Beautiful !!

Great looking combo, congrats!!!!

I sortta miss my While dial Mk XV and only wish it was a little (maybe a lot) bigger, LOL!!!!!!

Congratulations, that's a wonderful duo indeed! Enjoy them both and wear them in good health.

Kind regards,

Clemens

Hi Bas,

I started my IWC ride with a Mark XV almost 11 years ago. Though I sold it I stil consider it an outstanding design classic. Congratulations on 2 of them!

Hi Bas,
I notice both watches have a deployment clasp on them which was not the standard for those watches? - from memory the clasp only works with 18mm (thin end) straps - do the MX XV's strap fit or have you mixed and matched / got after market straps?

Cheers,

Ben

Love the blue "seconds" hand on the white dial!

Hi Ben,

Afaik the watches were delivered with a pin buckle. From 2001/2 the buckle was 16 mm (source: the workbook www.weeber.biz/IWC/Workbook/2001_02/3253.htm).

I have black IWC-straps for both, but these are to long for me and I don't like the black strap. So both are on aftermarket straps now.

Congratulations, a beautiful combo indeed, Bas!
May be this is an encouragement to complete the set. ;-)

Kind regards

:) two is enough, but a pyramidbracelet would be nice.

One answer is enough :)

Hi Ben,

my first IWC was a Mark XV back in 2001. It was equipped by IWC with a black 18 mm buffalo strap with the deployant clasp as seen on the picture. Undortunately IWC changed that soon afterwards to the 16 mm strap with pin buckle.

Very nice, really love the white dial.
Thanks for posting.
