    Hi Guys,

    Hope everyone is well.

    I am looking to buy a pre-owned IWC Portofino with all of the papers. I have a couple of questions regarding the watch. I would greatly appreciate if you guys could help me out by giving your advice on the authenticity of the watch based off of the pictures I have attached.

    Also, if I go to the IWC store, will they be able to authenticate the watch with all of the papers? Or will they have the send the watch to Schaffhausen to authenticate it.

    Looks fine to me. For sure a dealer can confirm the authenticity of the watch.
    Go for it, good luck.

    It does look good, but unfortunately there are good fakes out there too:

    Look at this!
