Larboarduguese Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Here are pics and specs from my IWC Portuguese Chronograph 3714-01: - Genuine cal 79350 movement - Genuine Dial - Genuine Handset - Genuine Crown set - Modded Case - Single sided AR (Thanks PBdad!) - Genuine Baume & Mercier Dark Brown Alligator strap - Rep IWC buckle Big thanks to Texski for getting all the parts and putting together the watch. Tex is great to work with and did an amazing job with the watch. Enjoy the pics (although i'm not much of a photog). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 This is the watch that got me into IWC a few years back. It's a classic also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Classy! The dial looks pristine. How's the powerreserve on your 79350? Mine stops after 6 hours when I don't wear it. It needs a service I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmacnz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Beautiful.....Hoping to get a texski special soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larboarduguese Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Classy! The dial looks pristine. How's the powerreserve on your 79350? Mine stops after 6 hours when I don't wear it. It needs a service I guess. If I wear my watch all day the power reserve is about 53-54 hours! I don't know what a gen 3714 gets but 53-54 hour power reserve is plenty for me. The gen dial and hands really make the watch unbelievable, that's why I focused the pictures on that part of the watch. Texski did a great job with the watch!

concepta Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Looks amazing! Yes..Tex is the new super modder! (with some assist from the older super modder) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmacnz Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 May I ask while you only opt for single sided AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larboarduguese Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 May I ask while you only opt for single sided AR? The AR decision I went back and forth on. I heard some horror stories on other other forums about exterior AR scratching easily and not being too durable. In the end I'm glad I went with only single sided AR.

Rolexman Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Great watch. Looks sweet. Wear it well !! PS: the 6 o 'clock second hand looks a bit damaged? Could be a reflection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a reflection though. Thanks rolexman, it's just bad lighting. My photography skills plus a mediocre camera is a bad combination. Here's another pic in different lighting (still same camera and photography skills though): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
