Hi everyone,
I am certain that you get this question a lot but I had a look around and am uncertain as to the actual answer so would appreciate any input you may have.
I bought this watch a while ago and I am somewhat confused. The pervious owner had the latest service paperwork which showed it's a genuine iwc cal 89 from the 50's.
recently I had a look online and could not find a similar dail, so not sure if the dial is genuine or what?
I would also like to see a period accurate strap which this specific model would have used.
In the photos you can see a bit of a scratch on the 11 o'clock. Is it bad or a par for the course with a watch this age?
Last and let me know if it's inappropriate to post this here, did I overpay for this watch? So how much would you value it for in the current state?
Now for the photos
