Hi Mark,
I appreciate your feedback and the speed at which you replied . In answer to your questions.The watch came with no box or papers, the price reflected this. As the watch isn’t grail watch for me (although very nice to have) I’m not too bothered about it.
I rightly or wrongly figure that if watches can be faked to the levels where it’s getting increasingly difficult to tell real from fake then the box and paperwork are easy to replicate.
The seller has a store with new and used genuine watches, but even seasoned stores can make mistakes.. To my untrained eye the watch seems fine. Details such as the small hand, thread on crown are all there..
I just wanted to check that there isn’t something obvious that I’ve missed.
From what I've read these watches don't have matching movement and serial case back numbers. So I believe I shuoldn't be concerned that mine are different.
Iwc isn’t a brand I considered too much before, but this watch has definitely spiked my interest.
Kind regards
