    Dear Giuliana,
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    These are the three W.W.W dials that you are showing.
    On the left the MoD dial ( Tritium) used in most IWC W.W.W.'s
    In the middle the fairly rare NATO dial (Tritium).
    On the right the so called restoration dial, used for a long time when IWC had to restore a W.W.W. watch. Not available anymore.

    This is the unfindable original Radium loaded dial.
    If you compare it to the MoD dial you will see a few differences. The black paint on the dial has a granular structure probably due to aging and/or Radium radiation.
    The surrounding of the small second is a railroad track, not just one circle.
    Kind regards,
    Adrian,

    Hi Adrian, thank you for your new ( for me )information regarding the 4th dial of the mark X. Of course the three in my photo correspond to your caption.

    Absolutely stunning! The Dirty Dozen and more in this post!

    I know one is meant to love all the children equally, but still I must ask...Do you have a favorite son?

    Longines and Eterna are my preferred, but I like mostly to see them all together. Watches of so many brands, ordered and produced for a specific purpose, is for me the charm of this collection.....

    Great collection, congratulations, Guiliano!
    One additional question concerning the Dirty Dozen.
    Do you also have the 4 Record dial variations besides the IWC ones?

    Best
