hmm... should be folding buckle if i didnt misunderstand...

Like The typical belt we wear lah..

From the little knowledge i have with IWC, Portuguese range comes only in straps. I did not ask about how much it will be to change the strap though.

Talking about straps, the Portuguese doesnt comes in a clasp like JLC but the normal buckle type. So you have to be very careful when you wear the watch. We tend to 'drag' the buckle to undo the hook so it will damage the leather surface after some time... i guess that is inevitable, only thing we can do is to be very gentle.

I like the one with dark blue hands, dial arabic numericals and also blue croco, so it comes only in whitel dial.

IWC is handmade lah... at least that is what they say.. haha.

That's good info. Thanks bro

is it a butterfly clasp aka fold on both sides or folding buckle. this is because i find butterfly clasp takes awhile to get used to

well, because i have bought quite a few watches from my friend and introduced many satisfied customers to him, my price may be slightly better. I do not want to make things difficult for my friend but as long as you tell him you are referred by me, he should give you a better price than most boutiques out there.

I paid around +-8k for the brand new portuguese. Most shops out there control IWC's price very tightly, at most 20-25% from the listed $11,100 (25% off means around $8320). So i would have saved a few hundreds off already. The few hundreds could be 1 time servicing already. But even if you can get just an additional 2.5%, you save another $277.5!

Well worth it.

I understand that all IWC Portuguese models comes in leather straps. Is replacing the straps expensive? Any idea what's the rough order of magnitude? You got the white dial or the silver dial? Personally, I find the white one more chio

last question. Are IWC watches hand made or machine mass produced???

This is my dream watch. Sweet, isn't it?

So bro, may I know what's the best price for this watch?

This is one of my favourite dress watch. Sweet, isn't it?

Hi,

I just got myself an IWC portugese at a very good price. If you are looking for one around 5-6k range, do let me know your details and i can refer to you the lobang (from a very reputable watch boutique).

Cheers!
