can somebody re-upload the images, I want to fix my watch... some links have already broken down.

can somebody re-upload the images please?

hmmm I know that I should buy the gen watch but I'm sure that when I have it, I won't feel satisfied knowing it doesn't have an in-house movement... Any idea if IWC is going to put an in-house movement in the Portuguese? Heard that Eta is planning to use their movements exclusively for the ETA group...

thx for this post

are you selling it?

Hi all, Fell in love with the IWC Portuguese and wanted to buy a genuine Portuguese until I knew that the movement was based on ETA. Didn't like the thought paying 7k for a watch that didn't have an in-house movement. I know that ETA movements are good and that IWC modifies them heavily but it feels to me like if someone tunes a Renault Clio with some spoilers, better exhaust etc. So I did some more research and bought a genuine Submariner as it was a beautiful/robust watch (not a jewel like the IWC). The Sub offered the best price/quality but I keep looking back to the gorgeous IWC Portuguese and thought of buying a rep... It's probably going to be a black 3714 but its so hard to find a good-looking rep. Would love this version without the stripes/engravings in the chrono's; But the "new" official version has some small (ugly) engravings in the small chrono dials and the rep's too. Also, the small dots/numbers look much more shiny then the rep's I come across.

were can I get this one, this one is awesome! Can't find any good reps anymore...

IWC Portuguese Automatic

crap I just bought myself a PAM005 N Noob Best Edition with Asian 6497 from puretime... How do I know that I have that movement and that it works properly? This is my first rep and I already feel sacked reading this post. Any idea if those rep PAM005's are waterproof? Can you swim with it? (no diving)

Awesome review! Considering to buy one but what holds me back is that I'm not sure if it's waterproof and the reliability of the movement? Can you swim (no diving) with the watch? If not, is it possible to make is waterproof to make it suitable for swimming? And is it possible to do sports with this AP rep, like sailing, tennis and swimming? Damn rep gives me so much possibility's in buying a watch which weren't possible with a gen... Can't choose... Patek Nautilus Jumbo (but don't like the open caseback), PAM005 or this AP. What scares me too is that it looks really big and I'm not sure how it will look like on my small wrist.

Whow supurb post!! Would love to own one but can't find one that shows the same quality as yours... are they sold out @ puretime? Only leather straps to be found... How is the movements btw? Is it comparable with a Valjoux 7750? I'm new in replica watches but I know quite a lot from genuine watches, I visit Baselworld yearly. Nice video of the "new" Nautilus can be found here; Does your rep also have that same shine on the dial? Aka not plain black/green. NAUTILUS 5711/1A

beautifull watch!!!
