Re: Guys, I posted a request in the forum a little while ago
I have two IWC watches based on the 5000 Caliber movements: the 5001-07 Potruguese and the 5002 Big Pilot. And, I have owned other 5000s. I also have a GO Panomatic Reserve XL, which uses the GO 90 Caliber. All three are outstanding watches that I enjoy. But, based on my own experience, my GO is more accurate and consistent--always within 3 secs/24 hrs and never any discernible difference in performance from changes in postition or level of activity. Meanwhile, my 5000 series watches run within 10 and 12 secs/24 hrs and performance does vary with resting position or level of activity.
Guys, I posted a request in the forum a little while ago
r/e suggestions for blue dialled watches and a lot of good people here gave their thoughts...thank you all! I have somewhat narrowed down my choice between (though my mind may change again as I get to see more watches I have missed so far): IWC Portuguese...
You've narrowed it down to two good choices.
However, the IWC Portuguese has always been one of my favorite watches, in nearly any layout and design, so my selection would be biased. I will say that the GO probably has a slightly more formal, upscale look to it, probably more unique in dial design a...
Thanks Ping!
I stilll cannot make up my mind so I need all the help I can get. I know I can rely on all my brothers here in HOME ) But defintely going to AD and see the actual watches in the flesh would really help.

Thanks for your info. This will defintely help me in deciding :-)
I didn't measure the accuracy of my Portuguese when I had it but I had to reset the time every, maybe, 3-4 days since it'd be off by 5 minutes and I just go tired of it. It was like that even when I got it new. When I inquired about it in the other site's...

the GO. I like IWC but the GO, in my opinion is a better made watch, with a more interesting mechanism- it is more dressy but the blue dial can be dressed down too. Good luck in making your choice- however as you will be the one wearing it, follow your he...
You want robustness, accuracy and dependability? Go for
a tt or gold Rolex blue Sub! Believe you me, you will never get more of the above anywhere else. My Milgauss has not gained or lost a second in 3 weeks, (same mov't.), and these things never go wrong. Never.
Hehe I am over with Rolex. Used to have many of them
and agree they are very robust, accurate & dependable. I can wear my Sub without any worry at all.
I've never owned a cal 90, so I can't really comment regarding . . .
. . . matters of accuracy from personal experience, but I know a handsome movement when I see one . . . . . . cordially, Art...
I would definitely try them on if you can.
Personally, I would choose the GO for what is in my opinion a watch that seems to live above its pricepoint. It's a stunning piece with a mesmerizing movement. That said, both the blue and silver dial PML look lifeless on my wrist. Which is why I suggest ...
Blue dials...
I love the PML but not the blue dial version. It does not seem to me a harmonious design. I much prefer the silver dial version. The Laureus IWC dials on the other hand have this amazing rich color. I understand what you mean about the accuracy though but...
