Hi everyone,
Here you have a homemade review of a beautiful rep I've recently get form a TD. Specifically from Steve (Theonewatches). There is a very exhaustive review at the top of this section, this is like a Lite version.
If you are noob (or not) I've written a thread with the complete purchase process with Steve of several watches, being my first purchase (many photos and details of the process inside), I encourage you to read it:
"Complete process of a first purchase in a single post. (Useful for noobs to avoid scams and frustration). MANY PICS."

Ok, this review is about the ZF's last IWC Portugeiser 7 Days.
1.- Link of my purchase. First of all, the link to the purchase. As I said, it was my first purchase with a TD, and I chosen Theonewatches.

2.- The first impression. A very well-done rep. Robust and very good looked. It can feel like gen on the wrist. It's a real Nwbig.
3.- Defects in plain sight. None, as I said, it's a very good looked watch.
4.- Performance. The movement is an Asia 23J base, Clone 52010. Works excellently, perfectly keeps time, seconds up or down on a day, but very correct. Here you have 2 threads about this movement:

The feeling of the crown is perfect, firm and without gaps. Days change perfectly and the hours and minutes too.
5.- Power reserve. I have been able to notice an almost 4 days power reserve. Impressive for a Rep.
6.- Crystal. Sapphire with AR (double sided). The AR is quite good, not as gen, obviously, but very well finished.
7.- Rep VS Gen visual comparative: Now let's go with some pics of this rep in comparison with the gen (Rep are my own pics and Gen are from Chrono24 to be honest with this comparative – not using the catalogue pics).
* Colors: It's difficult by photos, but I think that both blue and broken white are identical, not able to notice any difference on them.
* Dial: Some minor mistakes, but priceless:
- Font is thinner in the Rep.
- Power reserve subdial. Same thing, font.
- Second dial. Same thing, font and dial numbers looks nearer to the subdial in the rep.
* Needles: Same color and shape. Minutes is a little big longer in rep.
Hours is opposite, a little bit longer in Gen.
* Crown: Also very well finished. No many differences with gen.
* Buckle: As gen, can't notice any visual differences.
* Movement: The movement has obvious differences, but in any case, is very well decorated:
* Size: Measured with my shabby gauge, size is almost perfect.
Gen: 42,3 mm; 14,5 mm and 22 mm
Rep: 42,3 mm; 14 mm and 22 mm
8.- Conclusion. This is a beautiful rep, maybe one of the best non Rolex rep.
Hope this may be useful for anyone who is looking for something like this and want or need a home made review.
Regards.
