They always shows up - IWC Portuguese Vintage Collection (2008) ...
Team, I'm chasing this watch for years and is hard, at least here, to pop up. Full set, unmolested. My main reason to desire this watch is part of our "battle" against dates. The date disturbs the harmony of the dial, among other disadvantages. The vintag...
I typically like dates...
...but I agree that this dial is perfectly balanced and stunning without the distraction of a date,
Dates belongs to the smartphone ...
I keep repeating this over and over. I even dare to suggest to one or two manufacture CEO that they should have, for each model, a date version and a non date one. Cheers, Nilo
but why? if I am signing a document and I forgot the day I certainly don't want to take out the iPhone...
to me dates are here to stay and this is why a lot of manufacturers include them (wisely so).
LOL! I forget to set the date half the time...
...so I'd be in trouble relying on my watches for signing any legal docs!
Date free
Wow! IWC should celebrate a jubilee every year. Did you check out their date free jubilee watches this year?
Yes!!!
During the SIHH I could examine each new model. Love the Da Vinci no date. Cheers, Nilo
A date is my favorite complication...
but I agree it often compromises the dial and most watches look more “pure” in design without it. Yours is stunning.
Hello Nilo!! I´m happy for you knowing that you found this coveted piece for your collection! What a great satisfaction when a piece a collector...
... has been hunting for a long time finaly gets into his net! This is a marvelous piece indeed, and a non date dial makes it more classic and beautiful indeed. Guess the movement is the same as in the IWC Pilot Vintage 1936? Congrats and enjoy it so much...
