jotun0881 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Simply stunning watch, I was just going with some of my colleagues thru the IWC catalogue today and this Portofino caught our eyes....beautiful rep ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vbmrk 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks guys! It's a great dress watch. I find myself looking at my wrist often during the day. My biggest issue with it though is the lack of AR. However I'm not willing to part with it for 4-6 weeks to send to one of our modders for this. If I could find a local watchsmith who does this I'd do it in a heartbeat. Such are the pitfalls of this hobby though. My next step is to find a more elegant strap for it. Any suggestions from the experts for this noob? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparkal 4 Posted March 19, 2013 Damn fine watch, I just recieved my ingy the sports for good model. It also needs a new strap. Look for serge D one of the TD's here. He is awesome, I get all my straps from him. Makes per your requirements and is damn fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wizzzard 9 Posted April 8, 2013 Just received about a week ago and loving it. I'll post more pics soon, promise! Lovely watch! How's this watch going for you mate? I'm thinking of getting the same for the office (as well about 8 others I'm eyeing up at the moment!) Which TD did you use? And how much was it please? Cheers.

Vbmrk 0 Posted April 10, 2013 Hey wizard, I used Ryan from InTime. He's a TD on RWI. Reach out to him on this and tell him vbmrk sent you. The watch has given me zero issues and looks as good as it did on day 1. Admittedly I've cut back on the wrist time this one gets since I got my new sohc. I'm contemplating upgrading the movement via a watchsmith in my area, but haven't gotten a chance to get over to him. But this is more for my own curiosity and nothing more. Since its such a nice watch I wouldn't mind making it smoother and quieter if its possible. Feel free to pm me with any additional questions. Best of luck!

Vbmrk 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks mate! My wife's been "borrowing" it some days so I just ordered the white dial version for her today. Also ordered a killer new strap from serge d today for it. I'll post pictures of both once they both arrive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogflyer 6 Posted April 26, 2013 Very nice, wear it often! What model is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vbmrk 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Hey all, I've got a 3565 incoming that was modded. Mods done: - Double-sided AR (comes with no AR OTB). - Swiss heart placed (the a2892-a2 it comes with is LOUD and just not reliable). - WR Joe (rbj69) did the mods. The following are two pics of his. I'll post more once I get the watch back. Couldn't wait to share pics!! What crystal?? Its there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted December 20, 2013 great watch mate, but your 6 looks crooked to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higginsd 0 Posted December 20, 2013 I think its the angle of the camera on the last pic. If you look at the first pic the 6 is ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vbmrk 0 Posted December 21, 2013 I think its the angle of the camera on the last pic. If you look at the first pic the 6 is ok. Yeah, I had the same concern when I bought the watch originally and got qc pics. Turns out it's just the angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
