I need help to identify my new watch.

Hello,

Im newbie here. I just bought a vintage IWC but i cannot find any infomation
about it on internet.

Please help me to identify it if it is a real iwc. So thankful about some
information about it too.

Thank for reading

Hi & nice watch.

Your watch contains the caliber 8541 automatic movement made famous by its
designer Albert Pellaton - a very fine movement. This particular watch dates
to ~1967 based on the movement and case numbers. The bracelet also looks to me
to be original to the watch which also adds value.

if you're thinking to have it cleaned and serviced, it's a watch well worth
it.

Enjoy!

Terry

Thank you for your advise and information.

Can you tell me the name of this watch. Does it belong to any IWC line or
collection ?

Best regards.

She is a beautiful IWC, from the days when IWC believed that less is more. As
you can see by the stamping on the inside of the caseback she is a Ref 847,
and belongs to no particular IWC family. She is is what I call IWC Children of
a Lesser God.

She needs some TLC. It appears moisture has damaged the dial and may also
have reached the movement. You may elect to leave the dial as is, but the
movement should be serviced.

Thank you for your kindly words.

Is there any trick to open the backcase without hurting the case.

Im planning to make it a new custom dial, so i would appreciate for a dial's
document about it diamention, curvature for a perfect handmade dial.

Best regard.

"Make it a new dial" may not be the best option, as it will seriously devalue
the watch. The best option may be sending the watch to Schaffhausen, via your
local AD, for a movement overhaul and have the dial restored/repainted. It
won't be cheap but you will have a watch looking like new.

Clepsydra is giving sage advice here.
please leave the watch original

Thank you all.

i sent a request to iwc and waiting to see the reply about OH this beauty.

I would appreciate to know a trick to open the backcase without damaging the
case.

best regard

If you are determined to take a look at the movement, and you do not know how
to open the caseback, the best solution is to have a watchmaker do it for you.
Opening a caseback is not rocket science but there is a simple technique to
avoid scratching/damaging the case, which is easy to demonstrate but not so
easy to describe.
