I m a big fan of the simple blue dial version, what a stunner!

Love those Portuguese with a sub-dial. Are they open case back? I hope the rep factories can get them right. I'm interested in them.

The new Portugieser with small second uses the in-house Calibre 82 which is very much skeletonized. Doable, bot not as easy as a movement with big plates covering the engine...




The new Yacht Club chrono isn't bad either. :clap_1:

Damn, that's a thick boi. Such a watch shouldn't be thicker than 10mm, 13mm is way too thick, especially with the huge caseback. That won't look good on the wrist.

I understood that this new watch by IWC also has an updated butterfly clasp so it is much more comfortable that the deployant clasp that was used until now. Hopefully ZF will rep that as well. YLF just skipped right over that detail....

Did anyone buy the the YLF version? if so, how thick is it? TD site shows 13mm (gen is like 12.5mm)? Is this correct?
ZF just got raided so unlikely we will see their version of them soon...

I made a new thread because I wasn’t able to find this thread but I’ll ask here as well now that I found it. Did anyone end up buying this watch? Is the movement a clone or a decorated movement? When you wind the watch do the gears move like the gen? Also the thickness isn’t as bad as if the factory’s claims are true. The gen is 12.5 mm. The rep is 13mm.
