    I have stumbled upon this IWC "Calatrava" in platinum, Calibre 89, for 2000€. With tax and duty, it will be around 2400€. The seller describes it as "the case was polished in the past. The metal shows a yellow color between the lugs at 6 o'clock that seems to me like welding." Is this a serious issue or nothing to worry about?
