    The rotor on this watch definietly is not one from IWC. That is not a good
    omen for the rest of the watch.

    This is my Portugieser 150 Anniversary Chronograph. The rotor on yours should
    be similiar.

    Bill, I am sorry to say I disagree,

    The Anniversary 3716 with display back has a different rotor and movement to
    3714.

    In response to OP,

    Why do you suspect the watch, please give us some background......

    Was it bought grey market, a gift from an uncle, found in a drawer or in a
    garage?

    Before forming an opinion we need some more information.....Please show a
    picture of the caseback.

    There are things that concern me, one of which is the lack of engraving on the
    rotor amongst others, but the pictures are not of sufficient quality to be
    certain.......

    The red circled section is not as it is in the original watch. Also missing
    perlage - so expert opinion taken says watch is presumably a replica.

    Excellent. I replied too quickly without considering the options. I'm still a
    bit concerned, however.
