IWC Portugieser Chrono in 18K: any lovers?

Is it wrong to love this Chrono? I know the resale value is not great, but I absolutely love the look and the new in-house movement makes the piece a bit sweeter. If you had it, what's your verdict?

Always buy a watch you really want irrespective of retained value.

The IWC is a great watch my friend has one, if you like it, really like it, really really like it, then buy it, wear it and enjoy it.

Don’t focus on the value, focus on having a great watch that will bring a smile to your face every time you wear it.

Yeah, I am totally with you on this one. See my sig. I don't typically rock my 18k pieces frequently but would love to wear this one more often. Given the model's design, it should not be a total scratch magnet, right?
