    Many have tried to imitate it but it still remains the best looking chrono of the last 20 years.

    Big sized, when this sentence had a meaning, aesthetically innovative and inspired by tradition at the same time.

    It's an icon, its place is MOMA.

    I had the, so called, inverted panda but I think your version is the most beautiful ever produced.

    Hi Farhad,
    this watch is so beautiful! And when it sits on a wrist where it is loved, everything's fine. The classic balance of its design is still perfect and never enhanced.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Why would you even try? A timeless classic!

    I remember when people used to complain it was too big. Maybe it was just a little ahead of its time. There's just nothing like that beautiful, grainy Portuguese dial.

    Nice picture, too!

    Nice picture that captures the timeless elegance of the Port Chrono very well. This is absolutely one of the quintessential IWC models.

    Clean - Classic - and very nice!

    What's known on this forum as "a keeper"!

    So your next IWC will, I suppose just need to wait a little while longer as it seems we all concur with you. Don't move this one out to get another one - you will only hark for it, once it's gone.

    Best regards
    Mark

    For my two cents, don't do it. It is a regret waiting to happen.

    congrats on a classic IWC. I eyed the 3714s for a while - especially a pre-owned Japan Edition -- which I passed on, and which from time to time still feel I should not have.

    Thank you gentlemen for the encouraging comments but the watch is here to stay otherwise my boys would kill me! They love the watch more then any other watch I have ever had. I was just trying to say that I just cannot stop loving this watch. Regards Farhad
