    Hi,

    I'm new here. I don't know what's with IWC watches but I'm quite hooked to
    them since I got my first one few months back (A Mark XVIII PP). Now, I got a
    second one which I really love. The Portugieser Annual Calendar in blue dial.
    Just wanted to hear some advice and tips from those here that have had this or
    similar annual calendar watches. Beyond the practical recommendations from the
    manual, anything you guys would like to share?

    Regards,

    Tomas

    Hi,

    No advice except that the blue dial annual calendar is one of the most
    handsome watches out there.

    I am not a bit envious. Not the least. Not at all. (Well, yes, maybe a tiny
    little bit)

    Enjoy!

    Congrats Tomas, that are 2 stunning watches in a very short time! With regard
    to the annual calendar, the beauty is that IWC has no 'pushers' on the sides
    to correct for moon or date corrections, so just enjoy your beauty!

    Hi HCP,

    I agree it is a great piece. Honestly I was browsing a lot trying to look for
    an annual calendar with day/date/month in aperture window (even in other
    brands). Everything pointed me to the Portugieser Annual in blue dial.
    Couldn't find anything as clean with the right size for my wrist. Thanks for
    sharing my joy. Since you've been around here for some years I'm sure you have
    some nice pieces to envy you also a bit!!!

    Regards,,

    Tomas
