IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph

Reviewers and owners alike note the comfortable wearability, with the 41mm case size and included rubber strap highlighted as versatile for various occasions. The automatic IWC manufacture calibre 69355 movement is recognized for its crisp, smooth column-wheel chronograph actuation. One owner reported the watch arriving DOA and experiencing issues during attempted repairs, while reviewers consider the 30m water resistance a minor drawback. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph highly for its versatile aesthetic and the pleasing feel of its chronograph function.

Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux

The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is praised for its vintage aesthetic and versatility, with the Aventurine Blue variant offering a unique starry dial and world time bezel. Owners note the sub-dials are small and difficult to read, and the Sellita SW510 movement exhibits rotor wobble and hand play. The $5,000 price point is a significant increase from previous reissues. Overall, owners rate the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster highly for its vintage aesthetic and unique dial options, despite some concerns about sub-dial legibility and movement characteristics.
