Owners also note significant depreciation, with the watches often selling for approximately half their retail price within a few years. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic highly for its classic aesthetics and impressive movement finishing.

However, concerns exist regarding the brand owner's track record. One owner found the case very large, while another reported water ingress issues from handwashing that damaged their watch. Overall, owners rate the Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic positively for its styling and complications, despite some concerns about the brand and isolated quality control issues.
