My portuguese is now complete

[Glitch]

Quick specs:

• IWC Portuguese with Panda dial
  
• serviced movement and @6 frozen
  
• double AR'ed crystal
  
• curved end leather strap
  
  
  Quick impressions:
  
  • PR has improved dramatically after the extra gears were taken out. no more sluggish chrono hand movement
    
  • AR is TRULY impressive. get it for one of your favorite watches if you have the funds
    
  • dial just glistens now. see the finish on one of the pics below. markers are also really shiny now. this is because there is no more glare onthe crystal.
    
  • Curved ends on the strap fill the gap nicely and it hugs my wrist better IMO.

hello,

why did you frozen the subdial at 6????

[sander]

It looks really good but as far as I know, the gen doesn

It looks really good but as far as I know, the gen doesn’t have any AR and like olreon, why the frozen subdial at 6?

Gen is heavily AR coated.

He froze the subdial at "6", because the extragears will cause trouble after some time.

Awesome watch Glitch. Wear it in good health!

Ideal mod. Perfect. I've always desired this rep.

Yes, gen does have AR. You may be referring to the GST, which does not have AR from factory

now here's the thing - once you've seen how the double AR brings out the dial beauty, you'd want to do it to all you watches

Is that an OEM strap? I love how it fills that gap between the lugs, and well enough can't be said about the AR it's a MUST HAVE on a watch like this.

Enjoy that beauty!

Gitch -

Beautiful. Where did you source the curved end strap??

Thanks,

Now it is not necessary to freeze the seconds subdial. Here folllows a solution:

For those who want a leather strap that sticks to the case, Hirsch is having a whole range named Leonardo.

Congratulations, good mods. But for mine, I will try to improve the seconds@6 issue with the "graphite magic" before stopping this feature.

Francisco be ready...

An incredible nice watch!!!

Congrat for the MOD...a very good move to froze the sec@6 and the double AR. A must on this watch.
