I've been all over on this. Thinking of the 40mm 3-Hand White/Silver Portugieser or the JLC Master Control. Pics below. I like the readability of the IWC and the case has some nice substance. Plus, it will work with an integrated rubber strap. Would prefer more WR and lume. The JLC has both more WR and lume. Love the blue dial, but concerned about its readability and whether the dial is "different" enough from my Exp. 1. Oh, and both have OEM bracelets, which is great. Yes, the JLC is more…

I had my eyes on the Portugieser Automatic 40, Chrono and Automatic 42. LIke them on bracelet and rubber. Then, the GO Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase caught my eye. Normally not a roman numeral guy, but the blue on white/silver dial pops so well. And, there is something about the watch on bracelet and nato that gives it dress/classic look that is not the least bit precious. 50M WR, 100 hour PR and a tough movement. Thoughts on this vs. any of the Portugiesers…
