[AWARDED] IWC 7 Days Portuguese 5001 & 5007 Review and Comparison

[kim.lee]

most of the reviews are about the gold/white dial, but gen blue/white dial colour is more white. Perhaps the the YL blue/white is more accurate than ZF blue/white?
And I am not sure about the YL v3? is it out yet?

Release info on the IW500701?

This is out, but it's actually a 5007 and the rep is 5001

I was worried about having to read all the 280 posts to find my answers but this post saved me!!
huge blue dial difference on Laureus ZF or YL!

Own this watch (white w/ gold). Factory strap is reasonable, but I changed out to black alligator. I absolutely love it, its now a top two fav. Agree with the noisy rotor though, other than that is a magic piece.

Great write up, thanks.

Amazing post! excellent and just in time. I wonder if these movements will become available separately. Would be a great upgrade for older big pilots.

New update about blue hands

Sent from my pigeon

Did you by any chance measure the hole sizes of the hands? And how they compare to the gens?
