Incoming - IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic IW390403

I have been looking at this watch for the last 3 years... finally decided to buy it last week!

Very pleased!

I think it's a little north of 14mm. A little chunkier than the Datograph.

Nice pickup OP, love the styling. Enjoy it.

Beautiful! I have this watch, too, and it's one of my favorites. I much prefer it to the "updated" 2017 version, which doesn't have a boxed crystal and doesn't look as elegant. Cheers!

It's a great watch. I used to own the same watch with the blue dial. Enjoy it.

I love IWC. If I wore a suit daily I’d have a 7 day for sure.

The brown santoni strap does look very nice - may have to get one
