    Hi everyone,

    I have a choice to buy either iwc portofino 3513(excellent condition) or IWC Yacht Club Cal 8541 R811A Stainless Steel (good condition but some decloration of dial and hands).

    And I am not sure which way to go. Any advice will be really appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Salman

    Hi Salman, the Portofino is more a dress watch compared to the Yacht Club. The YC was launched also as a sports watch, with extra schock absortion system inside.
    The Portofino looks also more contemporary, the YC more vintage.
    The YC has the famous cal 8541 .
    But both are nice watches to have, it will depend on your personal choice, vintage or more modern.
