Which is better rep?

[Protrading]

Hi guys

my first post here.

i love iwc watches for their minimalistic style. I am after a very day dress / smart casual kind of watch and have shortlisted 2 models

1. noob laureus sport good foundation
2. Portofino http://www.intime.co/iwc/2473-porto...-v2-white-dial-ss-a2892-on-black-leather.html

Could you IWC experts advise which one is a better otb rep. I know that the Laureus is considered a super rep but is the portofino not good?

i will purchase a gen strap so need one that is closest to gen and has the gen like shine straight out of the box.

looking forward to some good advise

thanks all

MK portofino v2 that you have linked is very good but the hands are a bit flatter than gen (gen is more 3D) and DW is sightly off.

IMO not something you will notice without having a gen one to compare side by side

Thanks wanged

i saw a few other non chrono portfolios as well. Which one would you advise I buy? Again something that actually shines like gen and with a gen strap looks closest to gen overall.
Thanks

Portfino preferred simple but reliable
