    Hi All

    I am new to this forum and I admire the spirit of community and sharing
    evident in the posts on the forum. I got my first IWC in 2021 after years of
    admiring from a distance. I'm sorry I didn't venture into the world of IWC
    earlier. I went for the new Portugieser model with the silver dial and blue
    numerals and recently I went and got the bracelet for it (and still haven't
    actually put it on the watch - there's no sense to this interest!  ).

    Since getting it, I've become more curious about the model and the range of
    variants. I am trying to further explore the model history and information and
    found a post from 2015 about a 164 page online book that was published by IWC
    online. The original article ([www.hodinkee.com/articles/IWC- Portuguese-Book-
    Available-Online](www.hodinkee.com/articles/IWC-

    Portuguese-Book-Available-Online)) contained a hyperlink to the eBook which is
    no longer active. I sent an email to IWC
    (concierge.europe@iwc.com) and I was impressed by the speed of reply
    and the commitment to try and locate a pdf version of the eBook. It's about a
    month since the initial response to the email and I have not had a further
    response. What I am hoping for is that someone on the forum here may have
    access to the .pdf or be aware of how I might get access to it. I would
    genuinely appreciate any such information or direction to other sources of
    information relevant to someone with a curiosity to know more about the model
    and a wish to build knowledge.

    Kind regards

    Hi Sean

    I have a PDF of this Book and a while ago somebody else requested it. I've
    sent it to the moderator and he could pass it on.

    Tonny: Do you still have the PDF of "IWC PORTUGIESER - THE LEGEND AMONG ICONS"
    and can you send it to Sean? Otherwise let me know.

    Thank you

    Philipp

    Hi Philipp

    Thanks again for your reply. As I am new to the forum, I am unsure of the
    etiquette about contacting people. If you have time, could you send on the pdf
    of the Portugieser eBook? I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know what's
    the best way to provide you with an email address.

    Kind regards

    Sean
