Surprise Incoming

I thought these were gone, but got a random text from my AD asking if I wanted this. Umm, yeah! Thought I was done for awhile, but oh well. I love the lacquer dial on the 150 years! Happy Sunday everyone!

I had a white faced, blue dial Portuguese, but let it go. Too big for my 6.5 inch wrist.
Yours looks nice. Enjoy it!

Nice looking watch. I've got the regular version with the silver dial and blue numerals and hands and while I think it's a beautiful watch, like scarlet knight I'm thinking of letting it go, as it wears a bit large on my 6.7" wrist, mainly due to the very thin bezel. I think your blue dial makes it look a bit smaller.

I meant white dial, blue hands. True, the thin bezel makes this watch look bigger than it is.

I have always liked that watch and actually was going to buy it. Just couldn’t pass up the laquer dial and in house movement on the 150 year version. The close up photo is a bit deceiving, but I think the size is just right on my 7.25 wrist. Appreciate the congrats

On a bigger wrist than mine, it looks great! I tried that watch on for ten years before I bought it. But like my 44mm Panerai, it was not for me. Others with a bigger wrist, enjoy!

I am actually a little jealous, that is such a beautiful IWC.

Gorgeous ! The regular Portuguese has always been one of the most handsome, best proportioned chronos, the 150 year edition just takes it a couple of notches higher.
