    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
