I received an IWC portuguese the other day, and have been wearing it the past 4 days, i am mighty impressed.
The watch at first feels a bit too light and a bit dressy, but once you loose the initial "oh my god i mkight break it" the watch really comes into it's own, we made a trip to liverpool yesterday to pick up the big fellas new car, the guy selling us the car was wearing a Rolex Yachtmaster and straight away clocked the IWC.
In my opinion it out shines ANY rolex, just for the sheer fact that it is soo classy, refined and elegant. the watch just screams WIS and is a very nice timepiece.
I am considering keeping it, but have found myself still hanckering for another Rolex, or a new venture Panerai.
The IWC has a very crisp feel to it and does not dissapoint when it comes to finishing.
An extravagence yes, a WIS neccesity, undoubtedly.
IWC, for when the best just ain't good enough.



Thanks,
Andrew
