Marcello C. Classic Duochronograph Watch Vs. IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic Watch
Two great watches, two similar designs, and yet two vast different prices. Sizing up what over $10,000 extra will get you. The bilateral chronograph is a beautiful thing. Two registers placed along a vertical radius is classically appealing and high legible. In existence for over 60 years, this style has solidified itself as a true classic.The most notable watch to epitomize this style, at least in a modern sense is the IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic. A venerable monolith of classic proportions and design, it is pure legibility at its finest. The frills on the IWC are in the construction and the materials used. You can opt for a gold case, and the IWC movements are world class, as IWC has been one of the gold standards of pilot's watches for many decades. IWC backs up its watches with a reputation for refinement and reliability, but you certainly pay a premium for it. Once you settle on a watch design you like, there are often many options when it comes to satisfying your new taste.Ma

Good day members I've been offered this locally and paying it consideration. Would appreciate any feedback- all criticism welcomed.From what little I have been able to read about this reference, it should have a DON bezel, I've been offered with this current decimetre bezel (possibly a service bezel)?This to me brings the question of originality of the others parts of the watch...Dial, hand set, pushers.All looks very fresh to me for a 50 year old watch. Would the experts kindly comment as what is important to me is a true and period correct watch.A 1171 bracelet is to be included but not pictured. Do I pass without the presence of a DON ?321 movement 8 digit- 25 m serial.Thanks

Just finalized my first PP purchase. I should have a new 5726 by Wednesday morning. I'll post some pictures when I get it. I appreciate all of your enabling pictures. I don't know how this ends, but perhaps it will slow down a bit.
