If the seconds at 6 is fixed then I think the IWC Portuguese would be fine now which I don't think is the case...

By fixed you mean....

Really wish the new version had the righ (sub)dial color, I'd been very close to "pulling the trigger" but found out about that flaw and changed my mind. Maybe they'll soon make a V2 version and all will be good...;)

The black dial is correct?

Yes,the black one is correct,the white one should be more silverish,I looks "just" white one Puretime pics.I can only judge from the pictures on PT web site,I haven't seen the rep in person.The gen's silver-white dial is really beautiful in person tho...gotta love the details,especially the reflection of the dial in certain light.

secs@6 only an issue with 7750's. I think these are 23j's so should be fairly reliable.

The second hand dial colour varies on the gens too which is what I think some people might be confusing.

i asked them to make sure the crown screws in flush and that the screws on caseback and lugs are not warped or about to break they looked a little scuffy, but Im pleased overall

how is the caseback and rotor? I saw a rep which had a pretty great rotor but none of the rotors from the major TD's look anywhere close to accurate.
