    Dear all,

    I am Mattias Johansson from Sweden I recently inherited this watch and would really appreciate some help fidentifying it from you professionals. I have not had an IWC before but I know about the brand, what I have had previously i a Siöö Sandström Chronolink and a vintage Omega, which I like both.

    The information I have so far:

    • Movement: IWC Calibre 88
    • Case number: 1,129,358
    • Bracelet: Stainless-steel bracelet, although I am not sure if it is original to the watch

    I would especially like to find out:

    1. The approximate year of manufacture

    2. Whether the dial, hands and case appear original

    3. Whether the bracelet is likely original or a later replacement

    Thank you in advance for any information or advice!

    Best regards

    Mattias Johansson
