I pulled two of these pictures from the IWC website. The third is a hybrid of the two. I have been hot for IWC for a while now. I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on one in the next bit. What are everyones thoughts on the IWC portofino. I think it is a fine dress watch and would be a fantastic addition to my collection. Which combo do ya'll prefer?

I'm not a fan of the idea of a Portofino chronograph. The Portofino range is entirely a dress watch collection to my mind, and chronographs don't really go with the dress ethos IMO.

IMO if you do go for one of these as a dress watch....go for the white dial brown strap. something about that color scheme just screams classy!
