My IWC Portuguese 3714-01

I've loved this watch as long I have loved watches.  The mix of polished and brushed surfaces, the contrast of rose gold hands to the creamy silver flecked textured dial, the beautiful and elegant design ... I fell in love at first sight.  Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words.  This hobby is great for photo enthusiasts too 

 

Is it genuine?

 

Yes it is.  Waited a few years for it :)

 

Oh I miss mine now !!!

 

There's always time for a 3714 renewal!!!

I already asked Andrew about the reliability and he said that the latest batches of the movement are quite OK.

Quite OK is still not good enough for me... It's a freaking beautiful watch though!

I had a lot of problems with the rep movement. Died after less than a year, couldn't bring it back to life.

I've had mine about 2 years now, it's running strong. I hack it when not wearing it though.

 

Sneed: I used to do this too (hack it when not worn).  Did you do any extra modifications to the movement?  Mine lasted literally 11 months.  Then it came and went back to the watchsmith at least 3 or 4 times over the next few years, never lasting for more than a day.  It's great that yours has lasted!

Wow, I have to get me one of those...

 

The investment is well worth it. I had considered franken before, but in the end it was worth it for me to take the next step.

 

This is beautiful

Thanks a lot!

 

Fall in love!!!!!!!!! Rare beauty!!!!

 

When I owned the rep 3714 a few years back, I knew this was something I had to get.  It really is love at first sight with the portuguese.

 

:wub:   grailwatch

 

<3 for me it definitely was.  I sold many of my reps for her.

 

Love it aswell but the reps only last for about a year. If they'll fix that problem I would surely buy another one. The current lasted for 9 months and was quite expensive.

 

Yea that's the problem with the reps.  The movements just aren't reliable.  My rep only lasted a little under a year.  This is why I chose to go gen, I just couldn't stay away from the watch!

 

Had this gen. Really did like it. Maybeeee, shouldn't have sold it - but, thems the breaks. Enjoy her in good health.

 

Thanks man, appreciated!  You can always get her back!
