    Hi! I found a strange watch in our old house... I can't take pictures right now, but i will make a simple drawing of the watch:

    Could you tell me if this MAY be a real IWC watch or just a cheap fake?
    Maybe I will be able to post picture of the watch after a few days..

    Please answer sooner if you can help me! :)
    Thanks in advance! Regards! :)

    I can't tell from the picture. Looks fake but how about drawing a Nad shot with it and then we might know better?

    Dear Strange Watch,

    IMHO - That watch is not an IWC. It is what you call it - a strange watch.

    No idea what movement it has inside the case - but highly unlikely it is an IWC movement. Sorry!

    Of course, it's possible that this is a very scarce and little known highly sought after IWC ladies genuine Swiss Made piece. Let's hear the opinion of the other Forumers here - many of them true experts at identifying unique and possible museum quality pieces.

    There is a text on the backside - IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN INTERNATIONAL WATCH Co.
    In the middle there's a glass and the half from the movement is hidden by a plate on which is written IWC 25 JEWELS SWISS MADE...
    Maybe it is a rep.. or.. idk.. :( I will post some HD pictures as soon as possible :p

    sorry if this is a spoof thread, or joke posting (I haven't caught on to everyone's humour here!), but is this thread for real?

    No need for better pictures, these work fine. This is definetly the very rare IWC "Limited Edition" 1 of 1..................Reference: FAKEY !

    BTW, is it a Handwound ?

    Thanks for sharing,

    Andy

    Dear STRANGE WATCH,

    I think our watches are from the same dealer...

    Just kidding! I am sorry but your watch doesn't look authentic at all....it's crazy how far fakes can be!

    I want to add.. that now I found something very bad..
    On the backside - on the little plate there is a text

    OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA
    OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA
    OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA IWC OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA

    OMEGA's font is small, and IWC's font is big :D
    Haha, now Im sure that its a fake.. But it is stupid fake, I think - to combine OMEGA and IWC in a watch :D
