Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this IWC Portofino, and how does it wear on the wrist? A: This watch has a 34 mm case, giving it a refined, classic dress-watch look. It wears neatly and discreetly on the wrist, making it a strong choice if you prefer a slimmer vintage proportion rather than a modern oversized fit.
Q: What features does this watch have? A: According to the product information, this example features a stainless steel case, a light brown leather strap, a white dial, and a date display. Its clean layout and understated styling are hallmarks of the Portofino line.
Q: Is the 34 mm size suitable for men, women, or unisex wear? A: Yes, 34 mm is often considered a versatile size. It can suit those looking for a traditional men’s dress-watch size, a smaller everyday watch, or an elegant unisex fit depending on personal style and wrist size.
Q: Can the strap be replaced easily? A: Yes. Vintage Portofino models in this size are commonly worn on leather straps, so replacing the strap is usually straightforward for a watchmaker or competent strap specialist. If you plan to change it, we recommend confirming the exact lug width before ordering a new strap.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering? A: We would not recommend buying a vintage leather-strap dress watch for swimming or shower use. Even when a model was originally rated for light water resistance, seals age over time and leather straps should be kept away from water where possible. It is best treated as an everyday dress watch rather than a sports watch.
Q: How should I care for the leather strap and case? A: Keep the strap away from excess moisture, perfume, oils, and prolonged direct sunlight. For the case, use a soft dry cloth after wear to remove dust and fingerprints. As with most vintage watches, careful storage and gentle handling will help preserve both appearance and longevity.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The product information rates the overall condition as Very Good. The external and internal condition are described as showing light traces of use, and the hardware is noted as shiny with light scratches. This means it presents well while still showing the gentle signs of age expected from a circa 2000 piece.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: Please refer to the product information for the full included contents. This example is listed as a full set and includes a box.
Q: Is this an authentic IWC watch? A: Yes. A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage and second-hand pieces, and all items are vetted before sale. If you would like extra reassurance, you can also match the listing details such as the reference number, serial number, and overall features with the product information provided on the page.
Q: Does a circa 2000 Portofino make a good everyday watch? A: Yes, if you want an elegant, understated watch for daily wear. The Portofino is known for its clean, classic design, and this 34 mm example works especially well for office wear, formal dressing, and anyone who appreciates a timeless vintage look over a more sporty style.
