Hello,
Unfortunately, my online search isn't getting me very far, and even the IWC concierge hasn't been able to provide me with any information so far.
Here's the situation:
The IWC Probus Scafusia folding clasp has the IWC logo on the inside and a laser engraving on the other clasp (photo 1/1)
I've found three dealers offering genuine IWC watches with these folding clasps (photo 2/2), but without the IWC logo on the inside, and the engraving on the second clasp is also different from the one I'm familiar with, or rather, from the one all my IWC clasps have, which I bought directly from IWC without a watch.
I'm attaching two pictures of each so you can see exactly what I mean.
All three dealers confirm the authenticity of the offered folding clasps
without the IWC logo, even in writing.
Is it possible that, like with leather straps, so-called OEM folding clasps without the logo are actually being used?
The logo “probus scafusia” is identical for both.
thank you very much for your help!
