I was on a cruise starting in Rome and ending in Athens. It was great, but almost without watches ;( My problem is that it doesn't even come close to a Nad-travelogue. But if I find time I'll post a few photos this weekend.
Michael,
Agreed...our votes are for the Dark Brown !
You packed two perfect watches for the holiday cruise. In your case, "almost without watches" was probably a healthy thing considering you are exposed to the subject all your waking hours. Anyway... from the few pic's we saw, you really did look relaxed and having fun.
Please do try to find a bit of time this weekend to post your holiday travelogue. We would be happy to see our Forum leader "off the clock".
I can't believe Clemens scooped me on this! :) I also saw one today, in the Zurich boutique. While it's not really my cup of tea, the brown dial is MUCH more attractive in the metal. It's lighter than the IWC photo makes it appear and almost seems to glow or emit light. Very sharp. And to pick up on earlier comments, it looks very nice on the brown strap. Not sure how I'd like it on black.
I'll post a travelogue after we return home on Monday but for this watch, Clemens' photo is better than mine.

Hi David, I'm sorry I spoiled your scoop but I'm glad I saw the watch in real life. Since the watch is supposed to be on a black strap, I wanted to be sure to have a picture of it on the brown strap. I like it on the brow strap!
I'm glad you got that photo, Clemens. As I wrote earlier, it came out better than mine. I didn't even go to the boutique to see that watch. I wanted to try on a couple of others, one of which was the black dial VC Inge. When I asked for that, the sales woman said, "I have something that I think will interest you." At that point I asked if it was the new brown LE. She was a bit surprised that I knew about it and I admitted to having seen the announcement on the forum.
No need to be sorry about the scoop - reporting is a dog-eat-dog business. :)

I actually viewed this yesterday also here in Singapore. Upon returning home I thought I must be mistaken after reading MF's post on the strap so I abandoned the post. That said, what Clemens shows here is the exact combination here in SG also. I like it.

It would seem there is some confusion out there as to what colour the strap is on this watch - the semi official line indicates that the official photos are wrong and the watch will be sold with a black strap however I have seen a few photos out there now from people in an AD / Boutique and they all show a nice brown strap (which everyone seems to like) - is there any further clarification on this?
Time is something invented by the Swiss to help sell more watches
Omar Khayyám (Persia XI-XII Century) offered that Time should not only be measured in length but also in width due to the intrinsic difference between a minute or other depending on what is happening to the beholder... I wonder how a watch would look like...

Shing just posted a few very nice shots of the Inge taken in HK Airport IWC also with brown strap...

The plot thickens...!
