Icon7 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.

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