    Hey friends,

    Newbie here and proud new owner of a IWC Portugieser Automatic, and I've been
    tracking it's accuracy the last few days.

    It seems to be that the watch consistently runs about 6 to 8 seconds fast a
    day. I have read elsewhere that IWCs tend to run around +6 a day.

    How accurate is your Portugieser Automatic?

    Thanks in Advance,

    Chris

    Hi Chris, ones it 'runs in' it might slow down a bit, but in my experience IWC
    Portuguesers are always a bit fast like yours....

    Regards,

    Bob

    Depends on the position and amount of power reserve. My 7 Days, while worn on
    the wrist is extremely reliable and accurate.

    Once it is left alone in the box, face up with PR less than 4 days, it begins
    to gain a little. But this does not bother me at all.
