    Hi,

    I have an IWC 810a with caliber 8541 from 1964. The dial is damaged, and I found the same dial, but, it's noted as from a 809a.

    Does anyone know if these dials are essentailly interchangable? Or where I can get a clean 810a dial per my picture posted below?

    Thanks...

    IWC 1966 810A Cal 8541

    Their interchangeable but would not be factory correct... the 809 doesnt have a calatrava baton.

    The more common 810 dial arrives with double quarter batons...given the numbers produced i'd think a replacment ref 810 d-qts would be the easiest way to buy blind and tick all your box's.

    Thanks for much for your help Catherine! Would you mind linking to a suggestions to source a "810 d-qts" dial?

    I've been Googling and eBaying and neither are showing any matches.

    And can anybody confirm is IWC does not have replacement dials? Right now, I've been told I have to pay for a service for IWC to look at the watch and indicate if they have any replacement dials.
