    Hi.
    I think this watch is probably a replica IWC but I am asking for any information people might have on its genuine counterpart. I can't find anywhere on the internet that has the fat minute hand, for example. It all works very well and appears to be a quality replica. Any information that anyone can supply would be appreciated. I can't work out how to upload a photograph, so I will describe. It has a black face with white Arabic numerals. There is a date window at three o'clock and a sweep second hand. It states Automatic at six o'clock. There is IWC stamped on the side of the casing and also on the end of the buckle in the strap. On the caseback, very faint IWC 83001M. It keeps excellent time. The main feature is that the minute hand is very broad and shorter than the hour hand. The minute hand also has a 'window' within it, so that you can see the actual number of minutes past the hour through the window. Overall, it's certainly a different looking design for a face and I rather like it.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi CUISSAGE,

    From your description it sounds like the watch is a fake. And it won't necessarily have a genuine IWC counterpart.

    Some pics would help though to answer your question correctly. Here is how to do it:

    Hi
    I've tried your tip but I don't think it works for me.
    Thanks anyway! I forgot to mention that the second hand has a double kink at its central dial end.
