didn't really like the IWC OEM black crock strap so i got a genesis II brown gator which i think goes better. looked into an IWC deployment but they go for a whopping 450$!!

Very nice - I like the clean, uncluttered white look.

I've been thinking about getting another 'good' watch, maybe something similar. Don't get me wrong, I love my Hercules but was thinking about getting something a bit less busy :)

I had the same one, and I preferred it on the Brown strap as well. I picked up my IWC style brown Croc from TheWatchBoys TWB straps

Never been a huge IWC fan, but that watch has a great understated elegance to it. Very impressive! :)

Great looking watch. If that is only a 41mm watch it looks huge on your wrist. Enjoy!
