Bought myself an early milestone birthday present
This is my first gold watch. It will get plenty of wrist time as the years go! IW3714-82 outgoing Portuguese model. I was specially after the closed case back in this case for reasons we all know!

Bought myself an early milestone birthday present

Wonderful, congrats!
I want to add a coloured gold option as well someday… maybe when I reach 40. Hard to swallow the price at the start but like you say it will get lots of wrist time going forward.
That’s exactly my upcoming age!!
I also like you tossed the idea around but then thought of all the watches I have had and sold over the years! The amount “lost” is far greater than the price of a nice milestone piece!
I am not the only one
Your first gold watch. Almost my choice, but i would collect a Portefino or a Portugieser with different complications, and i consider also other brands. I am surprised how much members here still have no golden watch. I thought i was alone. Why i got not...
I would only have have at this point
I have been in this game long enough to treat myself outside the usual suspects! One time!
Beautiful watch and great choice too!
Give it lots of wrist time and wear in good health. It's truly a beatuiful color combo and I also am a big fan of IWC.
Thank you
Yea I can’t pull off something more dressy and a Portuguese seemed like a perfect blend between dress and board-line sporty
Superb watch !
The Portuguese Chronograph is one of the best chrono designs ... ever!
