    New arrival... one I have been after for a while!

    I have started to rebuild my collection after my sell off to fund a house purchase. Just picked this one up at the weekend and had a bit of time to take some photos to post. Before I reveal and post all the pictures I thought I would see if any of the WIS here can guess it from a movement macro?

    Portuguese automatic? Looks like an IWC pellaton winding train, and definitely has the rotor.

    Indeed it is - A 5001-07 I believe there is a few on here... but I always miss them when they come up for sale on the forum - they always move fast! The movement is fantastic to look at, amongst the best I have had. I find the size is a lot bigger than the 42.3mm bezel size might suggest - it feels massive on. I have got a new strap on order already, dark blue with white stitch

    Great pictures.

    I love mine although on the deployant it's not the most comfortable strap I've ever worn.

    Great watch, but I go back and forth on this one (mostly cause I'm poor, and it is a little out of my league).

    What is your personal experience with the accuracy of this movement?

    Mine's currently running at +3 seconds a day with me wearing it 5 days a week.

    I adore mine- they are really fabulous watches.

    Hi Oliver, what a great watch you have there considering some of the awesome watches you've had/own. I hope you enjoy wearing this one, it a very classy piece.
    P.S. still loving the Zenith Defy HMS.
    Cheers,
    Neal.
    P.P.S. hope the house move went O.K.

    lovely looking watch, subtle and so classy with it, has excellent clarity and love the pics of the movement.

    I'm very jealous.

    Re: New arrival... one I have been after for a while!

    That is a cracking watch.
    It's one of my favourite IWC's
    I would like them to make a manual in this one.
    Everything, is just so easy to read.
