Found a Mark XV, need help..

Hi all,

Found a Mark XV in my late dad's drawer. Really need your help to tell whether it's a keep or toss. No intention of selling it.

I have minimum knowledge about IWC, been googling for some weeks now and still can not find a 100% match information of the watch; conflicting info of year vs crown vs tritium vs ref number(which leads me thinking the watch is a fake).

Here is some detail:
Front: IWC Schaffhausen, Mark XV Automatic, T Swiss Made T
Back: Der Fliegerchronograph, 2666348
Dial: Fish symbol
Needle: it has circular shape on the second, which i have never seen on other googled mark XV

Appreciate any help.
Thank you

Hi,

I'm no Mark XV expert but this one looks like a fake to me. The wear shown on the second image even suggests a base metal case...

And I thought that's normal.. Facepalm.

This simplifies everything. Thanks, Anders!

Very good call on the case Anders,
There are 4 more faults and I'm not even looking at the bracelet

The crown is wrong
The hour hand is wrong
The seconds hand is wrong
The caseback says Fliegerchronograph and that ain't a chronograph.

Sorry but the watch is not IWC

I'm getting rid of this. Much appreciated, Mark..

Regards,
Mardi
