Split between JLC and IWC
I know this might be a silly question to post on this page.... I am split between a JLC Hometime and a IWC Portuguese Chronograph. I am very much a novice on watches but am learning to appreciate the brand's history, technology and movement of the watches.
Read that the JLC is based on in-house Calibre 975. Not very sure of the IWC's movement as I am unable to find reviews on it. Any advice?

Portuguese Automatic cal. 5000
The IWC 5000 series cal. is indeed a magnificent in-house movement, and the watch dial is buteaful. But it comes with a price - about 80% above the Hometime, and ~60% above the Porto Chrono-Automatic. And I was willing to pay the price, but the thickness....
