New Iwc portofino Gen replication out from AF

[Plantagenet]

I have the AF Portofino and wear it as my daily watch for work.
Very happy with the quality overall.

However, I am bit skeptical about the A2892 power reserve of my watch.
I usually need to wind the watch every 48 hours even though I am wearing it every day.

In comparison, I have another replica (Sub ARF with 2824 clone) and it lasts longer than the AF even though I am not wearing it that often..

Is that normal in your opinion? Should I service the movement?

Repworld what do you think mate?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback.
Could always swap a gen ETA 2892 I guess?

BTW watch looks gorgeous with a custom strap made by ziczac leather!

Same thing here with my AF Portofino. I serviced it and the power reserve improved tremendously.

Wow just when I was looking to buy the genuine Portofino I find this thread... A used one is found for not that much, but when I see the side by side comparison it feels stupid to pay 2500 euros.. Is the AF still the most recent version? I've had some rotor sound with miyota movements, is that an issue here? I know the AF isn't using a Miyota but is there any movement sounds?

I have used Intime before, they should send me the AF? Or what do you recommend? How do I know the difference between AF and other makers?

OK it seems like Intime doesn't have it on their website.

Thank you for your info, then "get it serviced ASAP" could make the watch even better, right?

Is it the rotor? - Sorry, I hadn't read the next page.

Idk if a service is needed tbh, if it makes it more silenced it would be cool.

After the service the ticks are not so loud, however a Miyota it is much less loud than any ETA clone

I'm after a Portofino and torn between the AF and FKF versions. Both use the same movement, I prefer the caseback on the AF but do you think it's worth the extra $90?

AHHH!! im in a dilemma. between AF and FKF is $90 differences but is there any differences actually ? is it worth the 90$ ?
