That's just classy. Makes me want a vintage 5 now.

@Snowy:

3717 is a stunning watch, totally agree, it's what got me looking further into it. I ended up on IWC itself, and then really fell for the 3777. The red arrow on the date window, really does it for me. Sets/balances the red @ 9pm dial. Who knows the 37x7 may even be out by the time I do anything, but yeah wow.

Do it brother!!!!!

Giles, watch and strap (!) look great together. More info on the strap?

They're a really atypical brand.

great read Graeme, thank you for posting.

my simple blacked out 5:

not bad for a very inexpensive everyday "beater" i love how the cal window is all blacked out & the brushed muted case. it's the little things

Seiko 5's are solid. Nice watch MM.

[Giles]

Yes, great taste Mr Mad…..

My first and probably only IWC and it came in a car…..

[Snowy]

LOL, I've started saving for a/the IWC. Am going to collect On-Call Money + Daily coins. Should take a few years, and by then I'll of earnt it. If it arrives faster, work will have called me a F*ck ton, so another reason to get.

Portuguese is one of my all time favorites.

[Anesthetist]

That's awesome G. Love the IWCs.

[tigerpac]

I'm anti-IWC in general (they charge too much for their class of watches vs. competitors imo) but the Portuguese is beautiful.  I'd break my rule for one of those.

there is a 'hommage' of the portuguese which has a nice seagull movement from parnis, costs less then 100 bucks

I'd be interested to see what the strap Mercedes the IWC is attached to is like. Did you go for black in th end?
