    I admit I must be one of the last person on earth to have discovered this facebook app...

    but... better late than never. For those who have tried it, would you mind posting which family of IWC watches suit you best?

    Mine was surprisingly the Da Vinci series! I am so surprised! I thought it would have been the Ingenieur series. I don't have a Da Vinci in my collection yet... and have been eyeing on the Ceramic Da Vinci Chronograph... hrmm... makes me wonder...

    So... what's yours?

    I got Portofino. Clearly the test is just for fun. I do not own a single Portofino. LOL

    I got Da Vinci as a first answer too but when I did the test again I got the Ingenieur :-)

    Kind regards,

    Pilot!

    Hey, but I replied to the first question: "To jump out of a plane". Who wants to stay inside? LOL

    Definitely the test doesn't work or maybe I have multiple personalities... LOL

    Waiting for IWC skydiver's line, something like deep one but with height gauge instead of depth gauge :)

    Portuguiser all the way, always!

    I got Aquatimer. Unlike some others, I do actually own one and have in the past owned a number of others. But ask me which IWC lines are my top three, and I'd say Portuguese, Portuguese, and Portuguese.

    Portofino for me. I had thought Portuguese would be the clear conclusion, but prophetically that very week I did the quiz, I landed the ref 5251...

    I was designated a Portofino guy. I actually have a Portofino, so at least I'm matched up with something I own! :>)

    Came out with Portofino. Personally I would never buy one though.

    Portofino suited me best.
    However,I still prefer my Caliber 89 if I had to choose.

    Cheers,

    Portofino evidently, but unless it's the original fried egg, no thanks. Much prefer Portuguese auto or perpetual followed by AT 3536. The only Portofino I'd want is the 8 day and that's only if the crown wasn't a pain to wind and since it's smaller than the crown on my Portuguese auto it is a pain far in excess of anyother watch I own.

    I got the Portuguese 7-day power reserve with blued steel hands and numerals. After searching, researching, and comparing various luxury Swiss brand models for numerous months ranging from PP, AP, Jaeger LeCoultre, Cartier, Bulgari, Zenith, MontBlanc, Jaquet Dros, ..., to Baume et Mercier, Rolex, Omega, Panarai, Hermes, Tag Heuer, Longines, etc., I settled with this one from IWC! Even though it's not as flashy and flamboyant as typically other luxury Swiss counterparts, its timeless design in an uniqueness characterized by the style of masculinity, understatedness, and simplicity catched my attention instantly with adorement growing day by day...! The design using blued steel on the numeral markers and hands added the finishing touch on the beauty of the dial and, along with the blue alligator leather strap, makes the watch stand out among its siblings in the Portuguese 7-day family! The aestheticism in its most simplicity form!!! I am very happy and absolutely thrilled to get this very fine timepiece and will cherish it for all the time to come ahead...!!!

    Portofino for me as well. Good thing it's not binding because the Portofino isn't in my top three IWC collections. I wonder how I should have answered to be a Portuguese man?
