    My Long time Grail has arrived.

    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.

    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

    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......

    A nice grail indeed! The minimalist in me would like it better without the date window:

    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.

    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.

    An Italian colleague (and they are very picky) has one and it looks very good. He's very pleased with it.
