Picking up a 5007-05 from my AD this weekend. I love the Portuguese line!

Great video! Thanks for another introduction to the watch world. Just a remark:
1:24 You have a typo. It's Rodrigues, not Rodriguez (Spanish spelling), confirmed on IWC site www.iwc.com/en/forum/history-of-iwcs-portugieser-watches-reference-325.html

My favorite reference is the IW5007-10. Very simple and elegant.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Hey Andrea,
We totally agree. It's pretty hard to beat the Automatic

[@jameswong6590]

Isn't the pilot watch under IWC is the most iconic one?

[@MegaAtlacatl]

I'm not gonna lie I think IWC makes nice, impressive watches. I personally would like a spitfire and a 40 mm Portuguese in my collection but the Portuguese is so over priced! I feel they should be at least 2k cheaper. But enough of that what about the orlebar Brown yacht Club? Gorgeous. Just one thing, those chronograph pushers 🤮. If IWC could replace those w flush bottons and instead of a chronograph function make it a dual time where the top button sets the hour and the button sets the minutes. And let's not forget to make it at least 10 bar bc after all it's a water going watch. 😉
