    Hello everyone! I hope this holiday season is treating everyone well!
    I just like to know how do I register my IWC watch? I've tried looking everywhere on the web-site can't find any options. Thank you!

    As far as I know, there is no central registry at IWC. If you buy a new IWC at an AD, they have the records of your purchase. The warranty card that comes with the watch is your ticket to service issues during the first two years.

    Tonny, correct me if I am not correct.

    take it to your nearest boutique for service.

    (I kid you not. That's the only way to "register" your IWC as I understand it).

    .

    Take it to nay IWC authorized dealer for advice and shipping. A Boutique obviously works, but one may not be nearby for you.

    I Purchased my IWC brand new from an official dealer in my area, I have the paperwork and warranty card everything. I just didn't know if that's enough or I need to also register the watch with the company on the web-site. Thank you Kelvin and Bill for all your information!!!!

    I just wonder: why would you like to register your watch? Did you have to register a watch of a different brand in the past? Does it have to do with insurance issues? I never felt the urge to do so, for watches of different brands, and I never found myself in a position where I felt I should have done so.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    I did once have to register a previous watch in the past and honestly I'm just so excited finally owning my own IWC that I was eager to make sure I do everything I need to do for warranty just so my watch is covered. haha

    Congratulations on your new IWC. As long as you purchased from an authorized dealer, you are all set. Just hang on to that warranty card and your receipt, although most likely you will not be asked to produce them for service. Now post some pictures for us, will you?

    Paul,

    Yes, you do have to (or shall I say can) register your watch online with some other brands. If my memory serves me right, I know at least Zenith and Jaeger LeCoultre do.

    you are all set. Believe it or not, the stamp and date on your warranty card are what you need.

    Now, rest be assured to enjoy your new watch. Hopefully you won't be needing your warranty card any time soon.

    I have a question for my own general knowledge. Do IWC watches keep good value? I'm never selling my IWC or anymore I buy in the future I love them! I was just wondering where IWC ranks among watches that keep good value!

    Thanks guys!

    Hello everyone! Do you guys understand what can be done with a 6bar water resistant rating? Is that 60meters and can i swim with my IWC, or shower and go under water in a pool? I dont think i'll ever do it because it's on a leather strap, but like to know what 6bars allows you to do.

    Thank you! Cheers!

    Swim and shower should be no problem. If you look at the site of IWC under
    "Retail and service" > "Service and support" > "FAQ"> "Water resistance" you can read more about it.

    With watch theft on the increase - I am surprised that you are unable to register your watch.
