IWC Portifino Eight Days
It may not be a yellow gold, champagne dialed Lange 1, but I still like.
Should I sell my SS white face Daytona and get one?

Re: IWC Portifino Eight Days
Don't know if I would sell a Daytona, but I might consider a kidney for it or a Portuguese 8 day. Hey, you can live on one kidney. LOL!!!!!

Re: IWC Portifino Eight Days
I love IWC and that is a gorgeous watch! Tough choice on trading the Rolex.
If you think you may get more enjoyment from the IWC it might not be a bad move.Buddy

Re: IWC Portifino Eight Days
Downgrade your pream and keep both watches. IWC for more formal wear (very pretty) and the Daytona for more sporty occasions.
BTW - does your Daytona have the original Zenith movement in it, or the replacement Rolex movement (in 2000)? If it is the Zenith "El Primero" you definitely might want to consider holding that one.Vine, Vide, Velcro - I came, I saw, I stuck around.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
