    I have just purchased a preowned IWC 5001-1 from 2008. I managed to find its serial number as per the warranty card by number 7, but it is barely visible. It took me quite a lot of time to find it and I started to believe that it was not on the case at all.

    Is it normal that the serial number is so difficult to see on the case (pink gold)?

    Most probably it has been polished once or twice. Gold is soft and material will be taken off at polishing.
