Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum, and definitely not as advanced as many on here. I have a question regarding this watch (IWC Portofino Hand Wound Moonphase - 5448). It seems wherever i look, no dealer has been able to replicate the appearance of the original movement. The see through case back should look just like the movement of the FA Jones. I know size wise these are completely different watches, but from an appearance standpoint, they are supposed to look similar.
That being said, the rep versions that I have found seem very attractive even though the movement looks nothing like the gen. There seems to be one flaw that is consistent with every dealer even the ones that this forum recommends. On the movement of the rep, Eighteen Jewels is spelled 'Eighten'. It seems that whoever is making the parts for these dealers has made a spelling mistake.
I was wondering if anyone could provide any feedback if they have seen a rep which has the "FA Jones Looking" movement, of has seen a rep with the wrong movement but with proper spelling.
Like i said, I am new to this and I am sorry if I am reposting something that has already been discussed. I tried to look through but have not seen anything referencing this subject yet.
