Impulsive Incoming IWC Portofino

Never thought I’d pick one up. I’ve been lacking a dress watch, since I sold my JLC last year. Business casual is my weekday attire and wanted something classic and clean. At 38mm, it fills my wrist but doesn’t overwhelm it.

Good price, felt nice, pulled the trigger in a few mins.

Congrats Rob. Of course, now you have to actually wear it in Portofino, which is very nice at this time of year

Love it. It looks like a great alternative to the Lange saxonia, like a cheaper more casual alternative and i mean that in a very good way. Very clean looks, congrats!!
