My last two days with my Portuguese > > > >

These are excellent photos of a classic IWC, Nad! I hope this Portuguese to be my next IWC purchase. It seems that no collection is really complete without one. These pics will have to do me in the meantime!!

Really liking these photos -- thanks for sharing. Did you consider purchasing the Laureus edition of the Portuguese Automatic? It's my personal favorite out of all IWC watches. If any forum members own the Laureus and can post photos, would love to see them.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben,

To be honest, I never considered the Laureus Portugueser.....nice watch, but I am extremely happy with the 5001 and the 2000!!!!!!

Great pictures Nad. To me the Portuguese Automatic is a signature IWC watch. It remains on my wish list.

Regards, Marinus

Great photos as ever, Nad.

With pleasure (and apologies to Nad for jumping into his post):

Am I right there is a beat difference between 2000 and 5001, the only other difference is no date in the 2000???

Hi Nad,
thank you for sharing this fantastic pictures.
I want to give away my 500107 as a trade in for an Aquatimer Ref. 3769, but when looking at these pictures I´m no longer shure, that this would be the right decision :)
Cheers

Nad,
Great to see you posting again, we missed those great travel photos.
I have both the white/silver dail and the Laureus 5001 and both are fantantic but I do favor the Laureus.

Side-by-side (sorry for the off-focus photos):

White metal hands White metal minutes....it's got to be a LE plat 2000. Nad's pride and joy after his wife and daughters of course!

Great shots, Nad. I love blue steel hands.

Thanks, Ross! Do you have additional photos of your Laureus you can share? Cheers, Ben

+1. Total agreed with you. I hope 5001 will be in your collection soon.

Hello Nad. Great pics of your 5001. Sorry to hi-jack this string a bit: but found an old pic you posted of your 5001 with a brown alligator strap several years ago that I absolutely loved. Can you tell me where you order it from and whether you were able to get it for your 5001 deployment or did you order it with a buckle? Any help would be great. Thank you in advance. Cwilson.
