The Fliegerchronograph is better value but...
the Portuguese is infinitely more beautiful. The biggest
drawback of the new Fliegerchronograph is firstly, the new bracelet which is not

on the caseback is much smaller and more shallow than the wonderfully done
engraving on the previous generation. Both of that appear to me as attempts to
cut costs.

IWC Question
Hi all, I know we do not have an IWC forum so I thought to post this here. Can anyone tell me the difference between the IW371713 (basic pilots chrono) and the IW371431 (Portuguese Chrono-Automatic). Having seen both in an AD lately I am lead to believe t...
I've owned both
And I am certain it is a pricing strategy to reflect the higher position of the Portuguese line in IWC's collection, as opposed to any significant intrinsic difference. - SJX

Another IWC Question
...sorry guys, but please bear with me... The Ingenieur series,... do they contain ETA based movements or JLC based movements? Or am I confusing this with the VC Overseas? Or am I just wrong?
