[QC] IWC Portofino Automatic 40mm White Dial - MKSF - TheOneWatches

  1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)
  2. Factory name: MKSF
  3. Model name (& version number): IWC Portofino Automatic 40mm (IW356501)
  4. Price Paid: $338
  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/DdzXVBu
  6. Index alignment: First time using the alignment tool and first doing the QC, so might’ve messed something up.
  7. Dial Printing: Seems crisp.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The '8' is sitting a bit to right but not that noticeable. The font looks good.
  9. Hand Alignment: Silver hands look good.
  10. Bezel: High polish looks nice on photos.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: -2 s/d; Amplitude: 277°; Beat Error: 0.1ms
  13. Anything else you notice: The factory leather strap looks a bit stiff/plasticky, but I already plan to change the IWC strap onto a custom aftermarket nubuck strap, so the factory strap quality doesn't matter to me. The watch head itself looks like a solid GL to my eyes. Would appreciate any second opinions!

6. Index alignment: First time using the alignment tool and first doing the QC, so might’ve messed something up.
7. Dial Printing: Seems crisp. "IWC" and "SCHAFFHAUSEN" text is perfectly centered. "SWISS MADE" at the bottom is clear with no ink bleeding.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The '8' is sitting dead center in the window. The font looks accurate and sharp.
9. Hand Alignment: Silver leaf hands look perfectly polished with no scratches or dust.
10. Bezel: High polish looks excellent all around. No dents or scratches visible on the case sides or lugs.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A (Leather strap)
12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: -2 s/d; Amplitude: 277°; Beat Error: 0.1ms. (Very healthy movement).
13. Anything else you notice: The engraving on the caseback and tang buckle is deep and clean. The factory leather strap looks a bit stiff/plasticky, but I already plan to Frankenstein the IWC buckle onto a custom aftermarket suede strap, so the factory strap quality doesn't matter to me. The watch head itself looks like a solid GL to my eyes. Would appreciate any second opinions!
