I am no connoisseur when it comes to the tone of chiming watches but I can certainly tell you the sound was *faint*. More so than any other minute repeater I've heard.

As you might see upthread, I left that to a professional, and now use a set of regular spring bars in place of the gold screwed bars.

But if I had to have one, it'd be that Portuguese. (Why would I have to have one? I don't have either of them. You have both. Why would anyone be required to own one of these and not the other?)

That and the "split minute" are both such interesting, innovative divers. IWC did such great stuff in that generation of Aquatimer.

That's a lot of haute horlogerie for the money!

I've always loved this watch in the salmon dial, but that black dial definitely gives it a run for its money
