Love both Tudor and IWC, and I’ve had both brands. So I’m going to give the cliche answer, you can’t go wrong with either. But, I think in this case I would go with the Mark XX.
I would go Tudor, particularly the new Tudor blackbay that just released fixed a lot of the issues the previous one had and I feel is just about perfect now. I think what really sways me though is the movement quality and versatility. The movement in the Tudor is superb whilst the 5 day movement in the IwC is a generic Richemont movement used in lower end brands also within the group and not particularly interesting. Just my 2 cents.
I've got the Mark XVIII LPP and the first generation BB Burgundy.... I love them both but the IWC gets a lot lot more wrist time than the BB.... but it's all subjective off course
Go Tudor. I had the Mark XX and it was a mess—bad movement, bad QC, bad customer experience. I have a close friend who is a watchmaker and he swears by the Kenissi movements in the Tudors and keeps pushing me to get one

Mark XX if you get the bracelet. It may be the best bracelet in the industry.
