    [Hello iwc enthusiasts,

    Totally new to iwc and the forum. Requesting help to verify the authenticity the timepiece that I came across at a dealer. I couldn't find this dial ( with stick indices) on a cal 853 on the net. Has anyone? Any comments or feedback in general are welcome](s969.photobucket.com/user/rashidspace/library/iwc%20853)i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae180/rashidspace/iwc%20853/D8944C45-EFF8-43AC-AFE2-909847F6DE1F.jpg

    Welcome to the forum. This one looks OK to me. Many different dials were used for this model.

    Without a super closeup of the printing, it looks legitimate to me.
    SWISS (no T) seems consistent with the dial and hands lack of tritium lume.

    Hello again! Terrible at photography but just about managed to get a closer shot of the dial. Does it look ok? Thanks for your helpi969.photobucket.com/albums/ae180/rashidspace/iwc%20853/A44D167B-281D-4943-A8B4-BE6A46DFA518.jpg

    Looks like an original dial to me.
    Ive never seen a reprinted dial that looks that good anyway...
