    Hi everyone.

    I just thought I would share a picture of my new Portofino Automatic that I received for my graduation.

    I have been a fan of IWC's for a long time, and the Portifino has always been a favourite of mine. I love the simple elegance of it, it's just beautiful.

    I was over the moon when I received it - I had absolutely no idea that my parents had bought me a present, and never dreamed of getting something like this.

    Needless to say, I am very happy.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I must admit, I've spent a lot more time than I would care to admit looking over past posts and drooling over the fantastic range of watches here.

    I'm already putting pennies away for the next one !

    As for my future, I will be doing my Diploma in Legal Practice after Summer and then hopefully commence a trainee-ship afterwards. I'm only on the lower rung of a very long ladder....

    Hi Martyn, double congrats and what a great watch!

    You can save for the steel 'milanese mesh' bracelet which is also awesome!
