TW Factory IWC IW659601 Replica Watch Review

The Portofino line is always quiet and timeless, especially the women’s model. It is simple it just uses proportions,elegance and attention to detail to catch people’s attention This particular watch clearly is a 37mm women’s automatic watch with a silver-white dial and the moon phase display, with a diamond set bezel and a dark blue leather band. Overall look is very clean,elegant and subtly luxurious. But it is also precisely for this reason that if there is something wrong with a replica’s details, it is more easily noticeable. Diamonds not shining well, dial not white enough, moon phase wrong, proportions not right – all these have to do with wearing, and they have a direct effect. So, are these the TW factory replica watches that you can actually wear? Or it’s only good for looking at in pictures? Below is my experience after actually wearing the watch.

Is White Dial Spotless Enough?

The dial color of the Portofino is very important. The silver white is too grayish and old, too bright and cheap, and too yellow and IWC-less. The dial of this watch from the TW factory is a cool, silvery white, with no yellowing and no shine like plastic. Under light has a slightly shiny finish but not mirror-like, it looks very clean. There is quite a bit of white space here, this is what the Portofino is about, simplicity, not using a lot of decorative elements, relying more heavily on proportions and style. The TW factory has made good achievements here: Moon Phase display at 12 o’clock is also one of the most prominent features on the dial. The TW factory’s moon phase window, it’s placed at a good height, not too high or too low, the moon pattern’s proportions are right, neither too big nor too close to the edge. I know a replica moon phase display can never have the incredibly detailed 3-d stellar sky of the original, but when it comes to this TW factory replica watch edition, at least it doesn’t look like a sticker or a child’s toy, and it won’t look clunky on the wrist. From an everyday wear I like how it shows the moon phase.

How bright is the diamond-set bezel?

This is the most common women’s replica watch problem. If too shiny like rhinestones, it appears false. If too dull, it appears dead. The diamonds on the TW Factory IWC IW659601 replica watch have decent overall brightness and a somewhat soft, non-glaring reflection. There are no off-center or missing diamonds, and it’s neatly arranged. Well made bezel, without any bumps or cheaply done feeling. Sure, may not be as cut & fire as original naturaldiamonds, but for replica women’s watches this bezel is pretty good & safe.

The sizes of hands and the sizes of hour markers all correct?

The portofino’s hands should be more like leaves or thin and long, they must not be thick. The hands on this TW Factory replica watch are the right length, good lines and no bulky look. The baton markers and diamonds on the dial give the watch a simple and clean appearance; there are no additional decorations. Clean and female in the overall dial, not the kind of rough that’s instantly perceivable. 37.1mm is not very small on a women’s watch but because of the portofino’s rounded case shape, with its diamond bezel and extended lugs, it does end up looking less big on the wrist. Instead, it gives off an elegant, just-right feel. If your wrist spans from 14 to 16cm, this size would be quite dashing, not too cutesy, like a miniature watch, nor overly hefty, similar to a mans watch. The 11.3 mm is a regular thing for an auto women’s watch, it won’t get stuck on your cuff and it won’t seem chunky.

Is it a steady auto move?

This TW factory version uses a high-end custom movement, which is different from the original, but it has stable properties. It’s far superior to those cheap movements made by smaller factories with a relatively low defect rate. When wearing it daily, there is no obvious noise. Its automatic winding is also fine enough for daily commuting as a feminine watch. It’s not a watch to watch the movement of, its a watch to be worn and a watch to accessorize. Stable movement is also an important basis for me to decide whether to buy this watch, and I think the TW factory’s movement is just right.

What’s up with the blue leather strap quality?

This dark blue leather strap is a very important part of the complete watch. The leather strap by TW factory is okay with its texture. It’s not that flimsy and plasticky plastic-y fake strap, but it also isn’t one of those fancy leather straps either. Fortunately it’s the right color. Deep blue contrasts nicely with silver- white dial and the diamond bezel. If you are particular about straps, then you can upgrade to a high-grade calfskin strap, alligator strap, etc., without affecting the overall structure of the watch. In daily social distances and wearing conditions, it appears quite naturally, and isn’t immediately telling that its a fake. It has a style of understated grace, not the kind that catches your eye. Those who really understand watches would spot problems mainly with the diamonds’ brightness and the movement structure, but not significant problems for wearing. This TW factory watch is a proportioned replica of a ladies watch, tasteful and well detailed, perfect for everyday wear and looks.
