    Hi guys,

    My friend is wondering what the reference number of this Portuguese is. I
    don't know if it's old enough to be in this section of the forum, but thought
    I'd go straight to the experts to inquire. I never knew there was a Portuguese
    like this, but it's nice to think that this reference provided some
    inspiration for the Jubilee Big Pilot's Big Date reference.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello Francis

    Sorry, but it's a fake.

    Yup, there's a reason you never knew there was a Portuguese like this;)

    Ouch, well that sucks. Was hoping it wasn't a fake, even though I thought the
    proportions of the big date, retrograde, and small seconds were all off. Was
    pretty sure IWC wouldn't release something with the the proportions so wrong
    haha.

    Off to tell my friend the not-so-fun news,,,

    Thanks for the help!
