Link to gen in yellow gold (What it says): Brand: IWC Model: Portuguese Chrono-Automatic (White / 18kt Yellow Gold) Code: IW371416 Movement: Automatic Gender: Gents Size: 40.9mm Band: Leather Strap MSRP: $13,500 USD Price: $9,450 USD Description: The Portuguese seafarers, of course, were not interested only in navigation. For them, precision timing was also a priority, which is why it was essential that the Portuguese line also had room for chronographs. The Portuguese Chrono-Automatic is actually the little brother of the Portuguese Chrono-Rattrapante, whose imposing appearance has fascinated many a watch lover. The huge demand prompted the watchmakers from Schaffhausen to create the automatic chronograph. In the space made available by the lack of a split-seconds mechanism they inserted an automatic winding system. The 79350 calibre movement with its rate of 28,800 beats per hour guarantees the legendary precision that you would expect of a watch with a provenance in sea travel. Needless to say, the Portuguese Chrono-Automatic comes with the typical features of a Portuguese watch: embossed Arabic numerals, tapering swallow-style hands and recessed subdials for the minutes and seconds counters.

Here's a gen: (looks yellow gold to me )

This one for me please: ...or I may take this one: Can I have a black strap on mine please(same as gen)?

...so is mine...

Price can come down more! I got a Bentley GT for special price of $219 shipped recently. This IWC should be no more expensive in my opinion

Is this easy for anyone to do - or should I take mine to a watchmaker?

Pardon my ignorance, but they looked like yellow gold to me (but what do I know )

Gens also have yellow gold bezel screws:

I beat ya

Gold hand and black strap for me too - although I will probably be upgrading the strap. Any advice on best quality strap at good prices for this beauty?

Paul (Wo-mart) says that his version is SOLID gold (5k first layer - 14k second layer)
