Looks great Rik. I got rid of my Nato for a similar look, with white stitching to pick out the white detail on the watch.

I did similar on my MoonWatch, it's surprising how the white stitching makes the white on the dial stand out.

Contrasting stitching is always a winner! I wanted the Omega Snoopy edition look but without the Omega prices so I went for a Hadley Roma black kevlar band with white stitching for the Speedy

Tucked it away for a few months til my birthday, but very happy with it. Feels very nice, chronograph movement very smoothe, and the button action is reassuringly robust and "chunky". Tick tick tick.... :)

Case back stamping very detailed. Some adhesive residue from the sticker still needing cleaned off.

And here it is with the C11, which is marking up now as I find I miss it after a few days off wearing either of my older (and much cheaper) watches, so it gets worn a lot (alternating between SuperEngII bracelet and C8 leather strap)

Congratulations 8)
I do like the C1000 Typhoon but thought the lack of a running second hand would get to me but since I recently got a Jumping Hour I find I can live without it.

No running seconds and no date, were my biggest worries about this watch too but I have to say, having worn the Typhoon for three straight days, I've gotten used to it. I guess there are some sacrifices you can bear if you like the watch enough! I'm really enjoying it at the moment.

I fear that the truth is 50% that I want to repeat your photos of this lovely watch to just remind me what a nice design it is.

The other 50% is down to me thinking that maybe I do prefer the earlier version as shown here:
