willy Skrev:I would buy a IWC portuguese in gold with black dial.A absolutly strikingly beautiful watch in my opinion and i have seen them with the older calibers for around your budget.And even if it is a ETA based caliber it has got nothing to do with ETA when IWC have finished with it.Indeed you are getting a caliber with a better finish than new IWC calibers.And the price in the future will not be going down.Just my opinion and i must admit i am biased on this oneWilly
I agree with you completely - both in terms of beauty and quality of the caliber. I have the Aquatimer 3536-1 and the caliber in this watch is based on an ETA but has been transformed into an entirely different level by IWC !!
Until now I am leaning towards a Portuguese (albeit maybe with a white dial) or a Day Date. But the purpose of this thread is to get some more inspiration so as to challenge my preferences
