gillism Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Who ever was the lucky son-of-a-gun to get the Becker edition of the portu - would be very INTERESTED in this box on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IWC-special-edition-Wimbeldon-outer-box-/120727556502?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item1c1bec5196#ht_500wt_1156
superlative Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Don't all of these FS posts go against RWG FS policies?
LeSentier Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Is there any update on these frankens? When are the first ones ready to ship out? Best, J

sander Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Very nice piece but what happened to the 30 and 35 ?
vadaviaiciap Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Very nice piece but what happened to the 30 and 35 ? Thank you my hawkeye friend ! that's a good question, I'm waiting for Concepta & Domi reply That's why I think it's very usefull to post pics here !!!
LeSentier Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Looks very nice! I guess mine is still in production, since I didn't hear anything from concepta....
Watchmeister Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Looks very nice! I guess mine is still in production, since I didn't hear anything from concepta.... Concepta warned everyone that franken portu's would be heavily delayed as his watch smith is backed up. By the way, what is the "35"? i have never owned a Portu other than a cheap rep years ago so I am not familiar with them,
LeSentier Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 I know that there's a delay, but I was just asking if there are news on the 3714 since I didn't hear anything in the last time. The "35" and the "30" are damaged on the tachy ring, that's what he meant. Best,J J

concepta Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Posted May 31, 2011 Yes..i got the pics yesterday from Vada. Seems like a watch smith has slipped with the tool It´s incredibly difficult to swap bezels on the Portus so i can understand why it´s happened. We´ll get it sorted out! Regarding other Portus! I have decided it is time to stop! I can not keep delivery times since i don´t even get a response from the watch maker! Ongoing projects will be finalized but i am not accepting any new Portu projects from now on! Thanks for the understanding!
Lobster Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Any clue if this project will be restarted? The last update that the run will be stopped came at the end of May. Doubt there are any plans for now.

Is the watch smith modding the inner ring or decorative bezel do you know?
vadaviaiciap Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 How right you are Concepta. Is the watch smith modding the tachy ring or bezel do you know? For what I know the watch smith must mill the case from inside to let the gen tachyring fit properly Rep tachyring doesn't have this kind of problem, obviously The case, in this franken project, is always rep. hope to sort out my tachy problem, even if you can see it too much
Adz Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Sorry I should have been more clear. I stand to be corrected here but... The Rep case needs to be machined to accept the genuine movement, we know this much. I believe the inner ring and/or decorative bezel must also be modified to accept the genuine inner ring as it's much larger.
