Hi Guys,
not posted on here for a while, thought i would drop by again to say hi and show off my new arrival.
just got this the other day, thinking of trading to a rolex bi metal sub though, as i have not even worn it since i bought it, IWC potuguese 2007 model with Black croc and brown croc straps (i prefer the brown) all boxes and papers.
Here are some pics








I think it looks stunning to be honest, but i work every day except sunday and it really will not get worn as much as i would like.
If you fancy trading a Bi Metal sub let me know, i can add an incentive if needs be.
Thanks,
Andrew

I've got a 2007 50th Anniversary Sub Date I can swap for.

Still under rolex warranty.

lovely watch

if i were you, i'd keep that one - i just think it's in a different league to the sub. (i'd also wear it if i had it biggrin)

and that's saying something - i have a SD that i adore - had it 10 years now and wear it every day.

You'd be mad to swap a sub for that.

It's all up to you but if i were in such a privileged position i would keep the IWC. To ME they are in a different league. Beautiful watch.

If you'd like it to be worn in the week, just pop it in a jiffy bag and send it to me.

I'll send it back at weekends, honest.

I have one of these and I have to say I have great difficulty in getting it off my wrist! My other watches dont get a look in these days!

I do love it, but think a sub is more an every day watch, have had about 8 Breitlings in the past and most were fantastic for day to day, but this seems a little too, well special.
Thanks,
Andrew
Getting ready for work now and i am actually going to wear it (:

I must add that the IWC looks (IMO) looks nicer than the rolex, and should feel special, it is. I would stick with it (but then again it is ultimately your decision).

Out of interest where did you get the brown crocodile strap from and what did it cost - I have the same watch with a black strap but you pictures made me realise it looks great with the brown strap

I love the Black face/brown strap combo,I have several watches that have this combo,unfortunately no IWC's yet!

PS:Ken does some nice straps,I have bought several from him:
