    Hello Fellow Enthusiasts,

    I recently purchsed an IWC watch as a birthday gift for my son in law. I have very little information and would like to be able to provide more information when I present it.

    The seller described the watch as a calibre 422, circa 1965.  Dimensions are 33mm x 32mm x 9mm.  The inside of the caseback lists two numbers: 210175 and 2502.  There is a photo of the movement  but I can not clearly identify the serial number.  

    Here are seller photos:
