So, my wife and I spent the weekend in Zurich, where we attended the opera Saturday night and Pokey Lafarge in El Lokal Sunday night. Saturday afternoon was spent shopping. I looked through what seems like hundreds of shop windows.
We stumbled on a tiny shop advertising "vintage watches" so we took a look. My wife saw a window full of Swatch and said "nothing interesting" - but I looked in the next window and said "Oh, yes it is very interesting."
Anyway, he had a mid-size Portofino in red gold, the 34mm model from 2008 or so. It needs a new strap, but it was in excellent condition and the price was good. So she has a new watch. We have a second IWC in the house. She doesn't do wrist shots, and refuses to wear it until I replace the strap, but here's a photo anyway.
I like Portofinos. I "need" one myself.
The opera was ok. Pokey Lafarge was hot. Great show.
