Well, if time is not a problem I'll try to save for the PPC. White gold version of this watch is a must, also have to consider movement, the perpetual calendar complication and the seven days power reserve,

If you've got the patience -- and can get the bucks together -- go for the white gold PPC with blue dial. I tried one on at a Chicago watch show and almost cried when I had to take it off. Simply breathtaking...

[quote=]Thanks for the input guys, I am reluctant to get the Port Chrono as it's an ETA movement, somehow that just doesn't sit right.
And I already have Omega's and a Tag for rough and sporty use.
The Perpetual of course is a beautiful piece of IWC workmanship.
The only thing about the Perpetual is ..... how often will I wear it? Does it scream out: Rob me, cut my hand off ?[/quote] From all the ETA based movements, I think the Portuguese Chrono movement is the most IWC of them.
As for loosing your wrist and watch: that probably depends on where you live. I wouldn't worry too much where I am and if you choose the white gold, it's less obvious.

It does not scream out. I get the most compliments on my 5023, but I think any Rolex is much more recognizable. The only people who recognize an IWC PPC are ones in the know (like all of us). I bought mine on a whim while visiting a relative in a different state. The PPC is one beautiful piece of machinery all around.

Should I get that or save up some more and get the Portuguese Perpetual Calendar IW502121?

But,..., then you should wait, are you able?

Also, that way you will not need to wait all that time either.....
Just my thoughts.

You might have to be very patient - depending on your saving ability of course...
