amazing collection you have there!

where are you getting the additional 2 x AR coating done at?

Thank you! All my watches have been sent to Micky aka SSTEEL (not a trusted modder here on RWI but on Repgeek) and the coatings on my three Portofinos are from a UK based coater and the 3714s, Mk16 and the Laureus have a crystal from ProfSteve. I am very pleased with SSTEEL and if you want more info on him, just send me a PM

What's your version of white Portofino?
Would appreciate some close-ups, not many Portofinos around here

It's a Miyota version. It is undoubtably a beautiful watch with a very well made dial, but unfortunately I never really wore it. Definitely a box queen so once I find the time, I am going to sell it

They're understated. I don't like to attract too much attention to my watches and whilst IWCs are beautiful in detail, they're way more discreet than for example a Submariner may people recognize at first sight. Also, the diameter of 39-40 is just perfect for my wrist.

Im obsessing over the 3910 but TDs are either telling me out of stock or its not a great rep. How do you like yours?

The portofino chrono is my favorite IWC so I domt know what to do...

There are ZF and YLF for Portuguese chrono. I've search many thread and there is no information for comparisons.
Which one is good for fit and finish?

Both are really nice and very similar when it comes to fit and finish. Overall however, I would say that the YLF is better. The dial just is nicer and the hands are more 3-D shaped.

It´s beautiful and one of my favorite watches. There is literally nothing I do not like about the Chrono. If you find it via a TD, get the crystal AR coated and you will love it!
