Handsome watch that I am wearing today...pic incl.
The 46 mm diameter might seem to be large by some standards, but the IWC VC Portofino fits very nicely on the wrist. It is a thin watch and rides extremely well on your arm. The lugs are relatively small and do not touch the wrist.
My only complaints, and they are minor, is the watch is difficult to wind. The crown is small and the movement is seemingly very stiff. The second minor issue is that is low light conditions the hands can be difficult to see. There is no Super LumaNova.
The VC Portofino is stunning. It is one of my wife's favorites. If I were to pick up a short strap, she would wear it even with her small wrist.
My advice, go to you AD and try one on. It's the only way to be sure.
