Beautiful and elegant looking Portuguese Sergio. I love it.

Many Congratulations.

Fingers crossed that the 7 day movement doesn't give any accuracy issues that have been reported here recently.


Thanks Ricardo. So far it's +58 seconds over 7 days. Not great but I understand that some others had good accuracy at first then it went downhill. I love this watch so much that I really don't mind it the accuracy turns to $%!$. Worst case scenario I just reset the time. :yeahthat My love for Breitling and JLC might have to take a backseat to this watch :!:

It's all dial. I don't think I could get away with it on my 7.25 - 7.5 wrist. The chrono looks better on me..



You wear a 49mm Motor T and you can't pull off a 42mm Port :?: :?: :?:

I don't wear the motors T much because of the size even though I love it.
The motors T has a smaller dial than the iwc. The inner and outer bezel break up the size of it a bit. Also it's more of a hanging out / sporty watch. The iwc is all dial so it, as you said, wears really big. I love your watch, buy the portuguese chrono looked better on my wrist when I tried them on. I was looking for a dress watch at the time so I'm sure that had something to do with my perception of the size.


i have to agree the motors t seems to wear smaller despite the dial size. to me it almost wears more like a 46mm

Edit- Serge this is a great watch and adds some additional depth to your already kick ass collection. Congrats buddy and enjoy.

Thanks I appreciate it. I've worn it 3X this week to work, I love it!

So far, 10 days and + 90 seconds. Not great but I can live with it. I pulled the crown out for 90 seconds and I'm back on track....no problemo!!!

hahaha thats awesome. 9 seconds fast a day is not all that bad. Considering COSC specs are between +/- 4-6 seconds correct? i could live with it running a bit faster too.

Congrats Sergio. I love the 7-day, the black version is at the top of my "one day soon" list.

I'll be interested to see how yours goes, timekeeping-wise. I could live with +9/day.
