Ever since joining this forum and bought, sold, traded, and flipped a lot of watches i have at last managed to acquire the watch i have long admired and always wanted. It's the IWC Portuguese 5001 7 day power reserve with a white dial, blue hands and blue Arabics. When i opened the box i just went wow! it really is a lovely piece.

Looking good, congrats!
Not for me but I do love the hands.
It's just a matter of time...
Absolutely Beautiful!
Glad you finally got one mate, i know you've been chasing it for a while. Of all the watches i've owned and sold in the past, THIS is the one i regret selling the most by a long margin. Congrats on getting a real beauty
Stunning blue hands, enjoy!
Simply have to agree with the above posts. Beautful :salute:
Very nice indeed.

Congrats. I've got a big pilot and the 5001 is on my grail list. I love the hands.

Gorgeous. I want one I want one I want one.
Stunning 8)
I was lucky enough to handle one of these at a GTG and it is still very high up on my "wish" list!
Gorgeous watch, amazing view through the caseback ( we need pics of the back!)
That is lovely. Very classy. Congratulations!
Must admit that I would prefer it if it didn't have a date - would look even better - but it seems lot's of peple need/want a watch to say the date......
Stunning, one of my favourite ever watches 8)
Congrats! That watch is pure class.
Nothing like it when that "Grail" finally ends up on your wrist - congratulations!
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
Oozes class.
Congratulations- My favorite Portugeezer too, love the hands and the perfectly balanced dial.
That looks fantastic. Congratulations.

Very elegant watch - well done on getting your grail!
That has to be one of the nicest and well balanced watches out there. it is so easy on the eye.
Very slick :)
Agree with all the previous comments - an absolutely beautiful watch and I hope it lives up to expectations!

A nice grail indeed! The minimalist in me would like it better without the date window:
If you see what I mean (the wonders of PhotoShop)
I see your point but as i am not one of those folk who are glued to their iphone etc i use the date window frequently so for me it's perfect.Originally Posted by xpatUSA
Oh for young eyes again, tried these on a few times but had to be realistic :sad1:

Nice one .... I'm really pleased with my new chrono .... your auto is something to behold!
Awesome watch! Its twin says hi! Congrats mate!
Amazing watch. Blue hands look superb

Lovely watch, one I never tire of staring at :)
It's on my wish-list for sure. It's the colour combination that does it for me. The alternative colours just don't have the same appeal.
They exist !! (no date window) :lol:Originally Posted by luckyhands
An Italian colleague (and they are very picky) has one and it looks very good. He's very pleased with it.
Stunning! Wear it in health.
