Big boy watch

I am late to the blue dial club. Really like the stainless band with the hidden button in the clasp and .25 inch of indexable adjustment. Also like the blue face without a bezel. The lack of a bezel means all 44mm is showing. The movement is very good but not as worked as other watches. Also like the red sub second hand.

The obvious- it’s big. Fits my 7.75 inch wrist great. I only feel the heft after several hours. The chrono stores all three hands in the 12 o’clock alignment when not in use. Very transparent. In use, there is some interferences with the chrono dials and the time hands at certain points. 1300 hours and 1 hour 5 minutes elapsed is impossible to read without magnification and turning the watch sideways. I am sure everyone is past the blue dial phase but I am getting to the party late. This is also my first watch over 40mm. The other choice was a GO SeaQ chrono. I am glad I did not get the bezel. Cheers watch fans.

Awesome watch, congrats

Nice purchase! Those Portugeisers are hot little numbers and I agree with you 100% on the no bezel.

I wish IWC would put the date complication at 6 o clock for their pilots…

No one is over blue dials, man. It's always cool, or at least it is for me. Congratulation on the watch!

·

Oh yeah! She's a beauty...that blue dial without the bezel is fantastic!

Great size as well at 44mm...that dial looks enormous without the bezel.

Looks great on you. Blue still trumps green all day long.

Doh I get the two mixed up all the time. Corrected

With black dials being such an easy choice to make, a blue dial is refreshing and welcomed option.

Congrats, as you have chosen wisely!

Fits you well!!🍾👊🏻
