    I was given watches, and I see triangle with two circles on it, so I decided, that they are IWC, but instead of the model name, I see triangle in the circle and word bundesheer under the IWC logo. Is there anybody, who can help me to detect model/price of them. Thanks in advance.cs305409.userapi.com/v305409079/1342/RYDUauoDb0Y.jpg

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately this is not a real IWC watch.

    The 'IWC logo' is actually not an IWC logo - the circles and triangle I believe (corrections welcome) were found traditionally in the old flight watches in order to indicate where 12 noon, or the upwards direction of the dial, especially when in the dark.

    This was important as a further reference point in order to tell the time more accurately, especially in the dark, or in a fleeting second quick look.
