Wow! What a story. The 5001-07
was my first obsession and the first watch I purchased new. All other watches prior I bought pre-owned. This brings me back. Here was my pride and joy collection several years back 😀. 
25-year obsession achieved
I’ve been dreaming of a Portuguese since first seeing the Jubilee. Then a few years later the 5001-07 came out, and that was the one. And I finally made it happen. Enter text ...
An all time classic 👌🏽
I had debated a long time between this and the Big Pilot. Ultimately, I went with the BP, but the Portugieser leaves a lasting impression. Moreover, this looks so good on your wrist! Wear it in the best of health.
I couldn't agree more..
this 5001-07 Portuguese is indeed the one of the iconic IWC that there is. And it fits perfectly on your wrist... wear and enjoy it well.
Great looking IWC Portugieser. Congratulations on

I used to have this one. ...

I drove a Golf GTI for years:)
Early on I wanted every feature on every watch, but I learned to step back and look at overall design. This watch just has style. But the perpetual is also amazing. The last time I met Hans Zimmer he was wearing the rose gold with the yin/yang moonphase.
Jay, come on!
Which model Portuguese and which model Golf? (fwiw I've owned a 3714 and 3716 but never one of these big 7-days, and my current ride is a Mk7 GTI)
Re the Golf, Mk4.
That was launched around the time I graduated from university. As it turned out two friends, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, ended up owning versions of the Mk4. In the US my buddy owned the 20th anniversary GTI. In Europe, it was the R32 which he boug...
Oh yeah, that Mk4 R32 is the peak
I ran with one on the highway the other day, it was great! (Obviously I let him win)

Great collection.
I have an Omega SMP diver but have always liked that IWC and the Panerais.
🙏… all my IWC’s and Panerai are replaced with
Only one Panerai now 😂. Most Risti would claim I don’t have a real Panerai as it’s only 42mm.
