Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw359202 Portofino Pointer Date Laureus for its beauty and classy aesthetic, with one owner considering it the ultimate dress watch. The 39mm case is found to be versatile, suitable for casual wear and contrasting favorably with more formal alternatives. On balance, owners rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw359202 Portofino Pointer Date Laureus highly for its elegant design and wearability.
The Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto Date is praised for its well-finished, balanced 38.5mm case that is lighter than other Orient divers, and is considered classy and elegant with a beautiful sun and moon dial. Owners note this limited edition diver costs $241 and features an in-house automatic movement. Some find the sun and moon complication pointless as it's not a true moonphase, and the bracelet clasp is noted as tiny.
