Hey guys, you have been great with helping me pick watches.

I will post pics, got the SUB 16610 and GMTIIC on the way as well.

Love the feedback i've gotten on this forum, but at the same time you guys are costing me a pretty penny! HA

Looking at watches online all day isn't helping with this bad habit!

Looking to get one last watch and probably won't be buying any for the next good while.

I need something can be dressed up and smart casual. I think I have the very casual covered.

I was thinking of a IWC

What do you guys think of the brand? How is the resell? And if so, recommened me a watch under 7000, has to be with a leather band, and 42mm and under.

Iwc portuguese would be a great choice for you, IMO, good luck and congrats

Agreed on the IWC Portuguese. I'm thinking about one myself, it just looks so damn good any way you where it.

GL08 · 1 March 2011, 12:09 PM

Which portuguese, and can they be worn casually?

I heard there is a wobble effect

Can anyone explain this to me?

Love the IWC Portuguese with white face and blue hands. I find it to be an absolutely stunning watch. Not sure what it goes for but that would be the one for me. After I get the GMT Master IIc it is the next on the list. (Or maybe a 5513 or a red sub...LOL)

I tried this particular IWC on just 3 days ago at the local shop. I like it, however, in the led lighting inside the store caused the blue hands to be black under everything but direct reflection. I also tried on the blue and gold handed model with the same outcome. In the sunlight it should be gorgeous. You could very easily wear it casually. The watch did wobble a bit from the 7750 movement inside. But that's just fine by me.

What do you guys mean by the wobble effect? And which models are effected by this?

Stick w/ Rolex, get a nice datejust, it will never go out of style......you have 2 sport Rolexes, the 3rd should be a dress datejust.

I agree...a datejust or a datejust2

I was thinking of something on a leather strap, I guess I could get a leather strap for the DJ.

Btw, how do you guys clean leather straps? Or you can't?
