    Hello.  I'm new to the forum - just found it today.  What a great resource!  I'm hoping to buy a vintage IWC wristwatch but am pretty concerned about authenication.  I own several luxury watches - Rolex, JLC, Omega; but, this will be my first IWC.   Can someone please give me an opinion on whether the watch in these photos appears to be genuine?  Thanks in advance!

    Hello all!
    I'm unable to star a new topic, so I put the question here.
    I want to buy a vintage IWC wristwatch Cal C83, but am pretty concerned about  case authenication.  
    These are the only pictures I have. Price request was ~800 eur. Is it a fair price?

    The condition of the watch is fair.....
    Looks like the caseback has been aggressively scrubbed with steelwool for some reason. 
    If you have any doubt at all, Walk away.
