ZF IWC Portugieser 40 mm Automatic 358304 - Opinions...?

[BluePortuguese]

Hi there,

Am thinking about the

IWC Portuguese IW358304 ZF 1:1 Best Edition SS White Dial Blue Markers on Blue Leather Strap A82200​

I have the 5007 Portugieser but I like the size of this smaller one. It should suit me better.
I can´t really find much information about it. What are your thoughts on it? Is it a good one?
Thank you for sharing - much appreciated.

Cheers,
BP

I know you do, I was leaving it for those who do not know what the watch looks like. I'm certain not everyone has a mental picture of it.

 

[BluePortuguese]

I see. OK...

You can stop worrying. I bought one today.

Whew, that’s a relief.

Thanks for the update. I've been losing sleep over this.

I own the iw358305 (blue dial) for two years since summer 2021 https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/oi7wqd I like this watch, it's my first rep, but found some cons:
- movement. it's a modified miyota 9015 win 21600 bpm, not 28800 as promised, not fully replicated. A little bit confused (my opinion is not to buy reps further with open case)
- movement. sometimes it stucks at ~23 sec position
- strap. The well-known issue for reps, you need to replace it or just accept not super quality

I wore it for two years every day and a month ago the movement has broken (or I destroyed it), sometimes it lates for 5-6 hours

Feel free to ask any interesting question!

Thank you!

Why do you think this Miyota 9015 movement has only 21.600 bph instead of the regular 28,800 bph? How precise was yours?

I heard bad things about the movement from different people. But since it's a Miyota, maybe it could be easy to fix.

I have three of them and all are running fine since more then two years. Just the seconds at „6“ are stuttering a bit.

 

[BluePortuguese]

Thank you for your comments.
I wanted to buy a watch like this last year, but it wasn't available from that dealer. Now I'm thinking again. However, your comments make me fear that the movement will cause trouble. I don´t even want a stuttering small second.
This watch has only three functions (hours, minutes, seconds). Shouldn't a Miyota 9015 be able to handle this? What happened?

 

[trombone]

Its on every example of this rep the same: the gearing for the seconds @ 6 are causing the stuttering, but the movements are running fine and accurate. I donˋt have a big problem with that.

 

[BluePortuguese]

I know myself. That would be reason enough for me not to enjoy wearing this watch. Sigh.

 

[trombone]

So everybody is dirfferent, i am too long in the rep business, to complain about such things.

 

[BluePortuguese]

Thank you all. You helped me avoid frustration. Much appreciated.
