Watchlover42, a collector who typically gravitates towards smaller timepieces and hadn't considered IWC a personal brand, shares a delightful contradiction with the acquisition of an IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW5017050). This post explores the unexpected joy of stepping outside one's comfort zone in watch collecting, proving that sometimes the best pieces are the ones that defy our preconceived notions. The community's discussion highlights how personal preferences can evolve and the enduring appeal of IWC's iconic designs.

....so I bought a Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW5017050)! πŸ€ͺ Does that make any sense? The watch is a lot of fun, so obviously it does πŸ˜‰

I've always admired the Portuguese, can't say exactly why i've never owned one.
