Your watch seems to be larger than his, Ginger!
At least this is what the photo suggests. Quite unusual, as in most cases the gents have the larger case. Your watch is from the 1970´s? The case design looks alike.
Thanks for your photo!

Wow...
as I assumed: once you gather momentum, there is no stopping!
Your wife must be very special too, enjoying watches to such a degree - congratulations (on wife and watches 
)

Incredible, VPREGULATEUR,
...what treasures you come up with in the course of time! These watches are really special, so transparent and fragile looking.

Lovely pair of Portofino´s, CS
... and matching a 100% the "same watch" criteria.
I could imagine that even my wife (who is not really into watches) would like this very decent and classic design.
Thanks for posting,

Thanks, but they are not Portofino's...
Thanks, anaesdoc.
The larger watch is a limited edition Portuguese launched in 1993 to commemorate IWC's 125th anniversary. It is commonly known as the Jubilee Portugieser. It is manual winding, with a modified pocket watch movement. Mine is the stainless steel version.
The smaller watch is a limited production Portuguese launched in 2000 (I believe). The stainless steel version (as featured) comes in a black dial as well. It is commonly known as the Small Portugieser, and has a JLC automatic movement.
Cheers,
CS
Thanks for the education
Hello CS,
thank you for helping up my limited knowledge on IWC watches! From the dial design I would have thought, the watches belong to the Portofino series.
You never stop learning !

Reverso’s do make a nice ‘family’ pairing …
… particularly with the variety of case sizes to suit all wrists.
I had owned the Grand Date for a while and the Reverso Memory came along for our tenth wedding anniversary; a nice emotional connection.

Lovely combination
... and shows the versatility of the Reverso: goes well with an alligator strap as well as with a bracelet, suits her and him - excellent!
Thanks Andrew for displaying the watches,

Interesting, pog760,
I would not have thought Panerai´s easily work for a husband and wife team, but obviously: it works!
Thanks for posting!
