    Grail Aquired at last IWC Content

    Hi Guys

    Finally acquired I watch I have admired for a long time, and finally I thought it as to happen so the Postman came this morning with this. IWC Portugieser Chronograph



    Wears great on the wrist great size at 40.9 mm

    Very nice!

    I’m looking at trying to get my collection into something more orderly, focussing on chronos and divers. This would be on the list as a very dressy option. I’ve only got tiny wrists though (16cm), so it’s always good to see a shot of a watch being worn. Do you mind me asking what wrist size you are?

    Not disappointed with my choice it wears so comfortably, it just looks shear class. Workmanship is right up there with the best. I think the blue face is also very nice but as this is going to be a dress watch always think the white face looks more in keeping.

    Beautiful watch, stuck between the JLC Polaris in blue or IWC Le Petit Prince Chrono, but that’s a lovely piece

    This and the 7 day Portuguese are two real modern classics, simply stunning design. Excellent choice! Really enjoy that one.

    Lovely watch well done, really like these and would have one but I feel like it would be wearing a town hall clock on my wrist

    They are fab aren’t they. I have the same one and it feel special to wear. At first the strap was uncomfortable for me because I have small wrists, but I figured out if I turned the deployant buckle around it worked better.

    Enjoy wearing your new love.

    At 40.9mm much the same as a Sub, it’s just there is no bezel and it’s all watch face, that makes it appear big.

    It’s two years old with no signs of wear at all. I held out for a great deal off Watchfinder, also managed to get the extended warranty for another 6 years off IWC, after all it’s going to be a keeper.

    Love the Poertugeiser chronograph...really beautiful watches.

    The slim bezel really makes the design I reckon.

    Enjoy!!

    Cheers,

    Thank you. It looks superb. Stunning even! I’ll try one at some point but best not too soon, just in case I fall in love!

    Congratulations on a fantastic watch. Enjoy....

    190cm = 75inch wrists. Think there is a decimal point out there!

    Lovely watch though. I tried one on recently and I think you have the best combination. The blue I found difficult to read and love the blued hands on the white dial. Well done!

    Laings have a Pre-owned black face 371447 reduced in their sale at £4395 from memory.

    Could be a good buy for someone?

    I wish they would put how old it is, probably leave it intentionally so you have to inquire about it
