    That's a beauty, and with extremely unusual lugs. Enjoy wearing it, and welcome to the forum.

    Wow. Such unusual lugs for a Cal 83.
    Do you have an example from the Vintage Watch Catalogue ?

    Congrats on that great find.

    I have spotted such special lugs in a catalog from 1938.

    Indeed a very rare case design.

    Enjoy that fantastic watch.

    Even the strap looks identical.

    Hallo. The watch is in absolutely NOS - New Old Stock condition. Never worn. Never used. Watch was stored for more then 70 years - originaly distributed by Kuchar and Wittmann Bratislava.

    All original including the strap and tag with correct case number.

    Terrific find. Congrats.
    I've fantasized about finding a NOS Ref 325 forgotten in the back rooms of an old watch shop. No such luck so far, but hope springs eternal. ;-)

    Did the seller have any more watches with this one?? ;)

    Absolutely stunning. Love the dial/hands, but the NOS is the extra icing on the cake!

    Interesting that it has a 105xxxx case "no hermet" since I thought that number was squarely in the "hermet" serial range, but clearly there were at least 2 IWC case manufacturers during that time period.
