A beautiful watch incredibly well presented, thank you for sharing. My personal opinion is it’s better worn on a strap though I do like the design of the bracelet, few do them better than IWC. However the end links would put me off to buying on bracelet, in the video and pictures they appear too large and without any polished elements a bit of a jarring transition to the bracelet proper.

Lovely watch. I myself prefer the blued hands dial but like the leather strap better. I bought an IWC Watch also in 2001 and after a few years changed the butter fly bracelet to a leather strap. The Davinci model I bought had the option of strap or bracelet but bought the watch with the bracelet because it is cheaper to buy a bracelet when one buys the watch than as a stand alone item later. The watch you showed the 2020 mode is obviously a better watch in materials.

great video. In the IWC Portugieser chronograph I had always great interest because of the asthedic design and the size. The show stopper for me was so far that it didn‘t contained an inhouse movement. Thus I was happy about the new serie and bought the watch in July in a blue dial with leather strap. I use it as „sportive dress watch“ and it looks just awsome. I just wonder if the steel bracelet works on that watch. The integration in the case is in terms of design very interesting. But does it fit to the classic Portugieser Chrono dial? Has it an own characteristic or is it like putting Porsche rims on a BMW car. The similarity of the bracelet to PP is given. So, for me the question remains if the beauty of the IWC portugieser chrono design wins with the steel bracelet or rather makes it weaker. With white dial I think it is weaker. ...but with a blue dial this could be the opposite and this is my expextation. If so, would your advice to buy it additional now or will it also later available?

@@WatchAdvisor thank you sir! Very sound advise indeed. You should produce a video about building a 3 watch collection soon 😉

you're not correct telling nothing has changed on the face of the new model. IWC changed their logo slightly lately, specifically font face on the "schaffhausen" word, they are not using roman font face anymore. If you look close enough you will also see it's a little bit smaller, hence the width of the "schaffhausen" word is different. Also, if you compare the digits they are using slightly different font too. Look closely at 2, 3, 4, 12. You could also argue about the dot size for each minute, they seem a bit bigger now (maybe it's just a color that seems that way), or the letter spacing in word "chronograph" (tighter now?). Other than that, they are pretty much identical, which was intentional, that's correct. For coparisson, have a look at 4:10 it's clearly visible there. Great video btw.

It is a killer also on a leather and tissue strap and it will do well with the new steel bracelet... the chronograph simply is cool....

@4:30 Also ich sehe da einige Unterschiede bei der neuen wie z.B.: IWC größer, Schaffhausen kleiner, andere Schriftart bei den Stundenindixes, etc.

Alexander , I am so close to buy one in a tax free zone with 20% off . Tell me to send away the guilt , it is so beautiful in life!!! Thank you, Alex. The second question it is a Pelaton movement?

Alexander ,today I was at the IWC boutique and after sorting out all the existent models I opted for portugieser yacht club white with the new bracelet. The classic was seamingly too small for my wrist 20 cm. I am not fat though. My wife gave the final cut. I am now with the shell shock!!!!!!!!!!

The bracelet gives it a more versatile look. It was too dressy with the leather strap. Very beautiful watch.

Thanks for sharing!

this one has always been on my list but the ETA movement did not justify the price for me. Owning a Valjoux 7750 powered watch I know there is absolutely nothing wrong with it though. But now with the in house movement I just had to put in an option on a white dial with gold hands version (like your 3714). Great review! Helped certainly drawing me back into the Portugieser Chronograph.

That bracelet looks like it should belong on another watch. It aesthetics don't harmonise with the case.

sutats +1 I agree, it looks too sporty for the design. I's really an afterthought. The sportier Portuguese should be left at the Yacht Club models. These classic 3716 should remain on straps. But then again, it's just my opinion. To each their own.

I can't understand this critic - sorry!

It's not really sporty if the water resistance is that low. The power reserve is also really low. They have a lot of space to get those numbers to standard sports watch numbers, it's 13 thick. Could they not find skilled watchmakers? This is definitely not a "utility" watch. The dial is nice tho.

@@WatchAdvisor Mostly I don't like the very first(to the case) link. It looks like peace of soap. The good example for great looking modern bracelet will be Grand Seiko. But my personal preference go to Milanese strap or MOST likely the bracelet from some vintage Vacheron's that looks like fish scale. I saw this kind of bracelet on some vintage Piaget too. i.postimg.cc/8CwsRvp9/Screenshot-20210606-171253.jpg

So this bracelet has no easylink (like Rolex has for example) for fast adjustment on a hot day? Thats a dealbreaker for me.
