Hi all

I am new to the forum and new to watch collecting. I have been researching about cal 88 manual wind movements. I found this on sale

It is a two tone oversized which I have been looking for. The photo of the movement looks like reference photos of the calibre, and there is an iwc stamp on the case back. My question is, does this look legitimate to you, and if so is £3.5k the right price. I have seen other models around the £1.5 - £2.5 k mark.

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Regards Bobby

Hello Bobby, welcome to the forum. I am sorry I had to edit your post since we don't allow links to watches for sale here , we want to stay non commercial here.
This is a picture of the watch you mentioned

We normally don't discuss prices either, with some exceptions on vintage pieces.
As you write yourself that you saw prices much lower of this one for sale, it is indeed not a cheap watch but it looks in very good condition.
