Dear all,
although I am new in the forum, I am an old admirer of IWC masterpieces. Lately I have started looking for a vintage IWC with arabic dial. Today I came across this one. I couldn't, however, find any information that would help me to verify the autentity of this watch. I have notice that the society of IWC forum helped in number of similar situation. Becasue of this I wanted to ask you about your opinions. I would be more than grateful for any comment.
Sincerely
Many doubts regarding the dial .
Script suspected, hands very suspected, crown very suspected.

I agree with Giuliano regarding the dial repaint etc.
The case and movement look OK and according to case number, was made around 1951.
Keep looking and you will find a good Cal 89
As Mark noted, I am also suspicious of the dial. The hands also are likely not original. There are many c. 89 watcehs that come on the market. I would wait for a better one.
Here is my wife's c. 89. that does not have all arabic numerals.
Many thanks to all of you. These are really helpful opinions. I guess I will wait for a better offer.
Sincerely
