    Hello and welcome to the forum. Congrats on this family piece.

    Not all the watches from that ere have "swiss" on the dial, I have seen a lot
    of watches that haven't.

    Why some have and other don't, I have no idea of the reason, if there was any.

    unfortunately yours looks like a redial.

    Hey Carter, welcome to the forum!. I'm glad you decided to post. Perhaps we
    can hook up one of these days and compare watches! It's a treat to have a
    fellow Texan here.

    Because SWISS is missing? My father always said he never took watch in for
    service at any time after he was original buyer. Thank you.

    Thanks Jim. Now that I finally figured things out perhaps I will have other
    posts. Cheers on this presumably wet and chilly day.

    No, the IWC logo looks too dark and the automatic spacing at the bottom looks
    off (uneven spacing). Maybe it's just the angle of the photo if you are sure
    that no one has ever opened the watch.
