For Sale: IWC Portuguese Automatic with 7-day Power Reserve - Ref 5001 - Great Shape

[chicago]

I'll keep this straightforward and quick. This is the watch that I bought to celebrate a big business win back in 2012 from a local AD. I loved it and wore it all the time. Eventually, as my collection grew, and I got more into divers, I found myself neglecting this wonderful timepiece by giving it zero wrist time. This year I have worn it literally once all year. Time to find it a new home. If interested, shoot me an email or PM and lets talk. dannorama -at- gmail -dot- com

My plan is to give it a week on the forums then take it to the unspeakable auction website and try my luck there. I've got my sights set on another watch, and this is how I'm funding it.

Photos:

That's a sapphire display back with the thinnest "rear bezel" i've ever seen on a watch. The movement is gorgeous to watch while running. If your interested, send me an email and I can wind it up and send you a video. It's really a great display back... oh and that rotor!!!


Resting in it's case





This photo shows (if you look closely) a very minor mark on the case at about 6 o clock.

Tried to get a good shot of the crown inscription

I know it looks like the case is removed but it's not, the crystal on the back literally fills up the entire back of the case.

More photos available of box, papers, watch itself, deployant, strap, etc. Just me me know what you need.
