    Ok... sorry I don’t know what you mean? Sorry I know nothing about watches, are you implying that Japan = replica? If so is it of any value?
    thank you

    IWC watches are Swiss made.  There is no connection to Japan.  At least the maker did not try to hide that fact, but they did illegally use the IWC logo on the dial.  This is a worthless watch.  If it is working, you can use it as a bang around watch and not be concernted about damaging a valuble watch.

    It's definitively a fake. Rattrapantes ALWAYS have 3 pushers! has written:
