Portuguese Auto Love
these seem to be hot as of late and quite a few members have picked up this exact model and color. I have enjoyed owning mine and took some new pics today.
things i love about the Iwc Portuguese 7 Day Auto -beautiful silver/white dial -blue Ar coating that works well with the navy markers with swan hands -pellaton auto winding -awesome 7 day movement with display back -large 42.3mm dial with barely any bezel -nice thickness at 14mm It is also a watch that flies under the radar and only wis comment on. I just love the timeless clean lines of the port auto.

It is a beauty, and a keeper for sure. Ever since I started this crazy hobby, the IWC Portuguese has always been on my short list. I owned many watches over the years, not my first nice watch, or the handful of Rolex I acquired over the years can match the joy.
if you save this pic as your screen saver. it looks much better...

Lovely!
Got mine yesterday. Its a watch I have always liked since I first saw it. It does wear bigger than it is with the face being so large. I also have a RG Port Chrono and did not even realize before they 7 day was a bigger watch.

Like mine as well. Have been considering flipping it for something else...but then I wear it and reminds me what a great looking piece it is.

Great pics, but I would disagree, my Ports get the most attention from not WIS heads, because of the very clean layout, it draws lots of love.

I want to get a light tan croc strap for mine!
I am heading to my AD in a bit to see what they have.

The accuracy is incredible. Mine is off maybe a couple of seconds a day. Far better than any other watch I own
