My week with IWC!!! I had to wait since Monday to post this, LOL > > >

I also had mine done at the factory. My turn around time was just a few weeks ;-)

I've been wearing it more often than before because the old crown was just so hard to wind that the watch would stop mid-day!

Now I love it and don't regret it!

I agree totally. Although the VC Portofino is not a true homage to the original now, it is infinitely more likely to be worn. I simply could not wind it with the old crown without damage to my index finger. Coincidently, the VC is the IWC I have been wearing this week. The next update, at the end of the month, is adding a deployant strap replacing the tang buckle.

This thread also has me wearing my VC Portofino this week. I've been able to wind it with a plastic needle cap. Not elegant but certainly functional.

Bill, you'll love the convenience of a deployant. I'm waiting for my Santoni's to arrive as well.

Nad, always a pleasure to see a man who
[ul]
[li]Has excellent taste[/li]
[li]knows how to dress[/li]
[li]has terrific fotographic skills[/li]
[li]has well deserved such a beautiful collection[/li]
[/ul]

I've yet to meet anyone who wears a watch better then Nad.

'Nuff said.

Adam
