Looking For IWC portuguese chrono

Recommended Posts

chunkyskillz

I fell in love with this watch. Almost bought the gen but decided to save the money for something else.

So here I am, looking for a good rep of IWC portuguese chrono.

So after a few diggings, My main concerns are:

- Any AR coatings on these babies

- Learnt there are a lot of movement issues with the 3714

 

Should I get the watch at all? I welcome all sort of opinion.

If so, where should i get it? is the piece from TD solid enough.

Or is there anyone supplying a more solid modded version?

If You can afford gen (more or less), look for frankens for sell (with gen dial, hands, movement) it's usually about 1000-1500euros. as for stock one from china - i wouldnt buy that one ;)

If youre buying stock

- Buy a slightly less accurate quartz version (and have the second hand frozen if the ticking bothers you)

- Get a jewel mod for the transfer gears

- Get the movement serviced and graphite treatment (temporary fix)

- Freeze the second subdial

- Buy it and cross as many fingers (and toes) as you can

After so much researching about the 7750 version of this rep I didn't run the risk and reached the conclusion that the next best thing is the tag 1887 http://tswatchltd.com/14274-14274.html

not a super rep, but reliable, with a very elegant date window and very similar looks
