Horological Meandering

Lusted for one since 2001, never actually seen one in the metal before, now that it’s here… it absolutely BEAUTIFUL! (Could very well be too beautiful for me)
Found this IWC Port 2000 in mint exterior condition, the seller did disclose that the movement hasn’t been serviced since new (10+years) and there are a few black dust particles on the movement (dreid lubricant), however, he did adjust the sale price accordingly so I can have it serviced at my leisure. So far it’s keeping excellent time.
Time to enjoy it for a bit before it's forthcoming SPA treatment.

Thanks for looking
Drew

This Port 5000 is the next best thing after the Jubilé.

Sensual and sexy, it is not too elegant bor dressy for you, Drew.

You will appreciate it even more with Time...

Enjoy!

Best,

Nicolas.

Congratulations.  I am sure you will have plenty good time specially admiring it.

A great looking watch, wear in good health.

Hopefully with something like this on your wriste, this will curb your greed (LOL).

Best regards,

Another great classic and a versatile piece. I like the black dial with the white subdials, not to mention the slightly domed sapphire.  7 days PR is so practical!

I love its dial layout, its glass, its size...

Congrats!

A classic, no doubt.  Congratulations, enjoy!  Matt

This is by far my favourite modern IWC.

Great stuff, Drew. Lotsa envy here.

. . . my favorite modern IWC as well.

I am not an IWC person but this watch is outstanding in every way and (as your pictures show) direction!

i actually believe that IWC went downhill soon after this one, sadly.

congrats and thanks for showing...

Congratulations! The watch looks very nice. After the service it should be like new. Wear it in good health!

Just stunning!

Makes me wish that I knew more about IWC!  I really love the crisp look of the dial, the clean case, the domed crystal -- wow.

Enjoy!

Best,

however, never got around to it.

definitely an iconic and classic example to match the regarded 7 day pellaton automatic movement .

congrats and wear in good health ! again, great taste and choice!

I have never seen one in person either.  Great purchase.

I am happy to hear you were able to snag this one!
