This is the Portuguese that I've wanted forever... I love it to bits. I want to get an Ingenieur now.. Non-Chrono. This guy is about 41mm, and the hands are cool in that the time hands are gold while the chronograph hands are blued steel.

Hey, I said on the other thread that I thought you might be getting a Portuguese! Nice one! Looks a good size on your wrist there too, Admin. Does it wear larger than it's 41mm size would suggest? |

Now that is just beautiful! The Portuguese continually grabs my attention every time I see one, in pictures on in real life. Great piece. Congrats. Wear it in good health. |

It doesn't really wear a whole lot larger than 41mm.. compared to say a Navi at 41.5mm. But it does wear larger than like a 41mm Ling like the Cockpit Big Date. The thin bezel does give it a bit more presence. It is not overly large feeling for its size though. I would say that you'd want to go with like a FA Jones or perhaps the one with the In-House 7 day movement if you want larger. I am possibly going to upgrade it to that one when I have the chance

That is a very nice IWC. Congratulations! The hands are, as you say, very cool in distinguishing their use. |

Thats a classy watch, if I was to get one I would definately get the same color dial and strap. I really dig their Double Chrono, might just get one and forget about the ever elusive Panerais. |

Great watch! I am a great fan of the blue hands as well. Baume and Mercier do a couple of watches, I believe in their Classic line, that have the blue hands. Good choice. Cheer,s Carl |
