    Green dial Portugieser Chrono

    Green dial looks jazzy & a bit different in the pics, what do you think?

    I must admit, when I read the title I thought this will be nice.

    I was wrong. It looks like a very cheap chinese knock off. Each to their own and that but personally, I think that IWC have not done themselves any favours. Very marmite, a bit like the new Beemer 4 series grill!

    I think the leather strap makes it look worse. Reckon it would look a load better on a bracelet... (although still not convinced overall!)

    Nothing marmite about the new grills they’re hideous! This watch would look a lot better to me a shade darker though

    Maybe its one of those that will look better in the flesh, my view is not helped by the fact i am not a huge fan of the model anyway.

    Green dials seem to be all the rage for some of the higher end brands at the moment, don't mind them, but don't think from this render it suits the IWC at all

    I absolutely love a bit of green but even I'd have to say I'd have to see that one in the flesh first.

    I just don't like coloured dials at all - they don't go with anything!

    Have to see it in a showroom before making a decision. Could look quite different in real life.

    You can be certain that the dial will look nicer in person than on those pictures. That said, I don't think green suits the general aesthetic of the portuguese so I won't be swapping my white dial for one of these any time soon.

    Fun colour but would it be just a tad too loud possibly?

    I like it.

    Do I have to turn in my WIS card and locker key?

    It looks like the worst possible shade of green. Too bright and too shiny.
    Every watch a story.

    Looks pretty much the same colour as the hulk

    My guess is it would look almost black in some lights.

    This model range has one of the best aesthetics in the game, with a nice subdued and elegant vibe. Adding a hulk style dial is like slapping it in the face. It may look better in the flesh but for me, it fundamentally turns the watch into something it’s not....loud and garish.

    If it's anything like the green dialled Breitling Premier chrono the colour will be a good deal more muted....at least with AD lighting, maybe it comes alive in daylight

    If green is good enough for Patek, then it should be OK for IWC.
    Google Patek 5905p green. ;)
