Absolutely love itbiggrin

Bit of a cryptic intro...but I'm on my third Mojito and it seemed as good an intro as anywobble

...was at the Forum shops in Las Vegas yesterday when I saw a watch I fell in love with...an IWC Portofino chronograph Laureus Sport limited edition. Now, I've become more interested in watches in the last few years since I bought my first expensive watch - a 'cough' Louis 'cough' Vuitton 'cough' GMT Tambour.
Now, I know you'll all laugh, but I liked it, and that's all there is to it. wink
But then I saw the IWC. After much umming and arring and wondering if my credit card provider would even entertain the idea, I decided to go for it. The bonus was getting a $500 discount, and not paying the tax (another $500), by having it shipped from Nevada to my next hotel stop in LA.
Should arrive on Thursday and can't wait to post some pics.
I may even get the Milanese mesh bracelet at a future date, which should look fantastic against the blue face.

That's a very handsome watch. I hope you love it just as much when it arrives.
