    Hi all,

    I snapped this shot of an IWC I found in a nearby pawn shop. Would you kindly help me identify it and the movement? I can see the similarity with 1810s but without the conspicuous IWC logo on the dial. Much obliged. Does this watch have any water resistance?

    Hi Alex,
    it shurely has a calibre 8541 movement. And since it has the Fish crown, it used to be waterproof when it was delivered to its first customer. That does not mean that it is still waterprove.

    Did you buy it? This is a Ref 910A (now 1810AD, I think), probably from the mid- to late 60's. It should have a Cal 8541 movement. I have one purchased new in 1967. At the bottom of the dial, the "T SWISS T" indicates luminescent dial and/ or hands (mine has both), but this watch appears to have neither, so it's seen some work done on it...

    Having a a t-swiss-t dial devoid of t does'nt indicate it's seen some work (especially in exactly the given timeframe)..seeing some work indicates it's seen some work.

    GCOAR...the dials fine...crown looks suspect

    I've got one of these with a tritium dial, though me owning such a model will no way make the sample below incorrect.
