Help spotting a fake

Hi everybody.

I am about to purchase my first IWC. I am looking for a Portuguese Chronograph and I have been looking online for a while. Is there any tips that you can give only looking at pictures if I want to buy a used one? I have other watches like Rolexes etc. so I know a little but I cant tell on these.

Admins feel free to delete if I break any rules posting.
Best regards

The best thing you can do is buy from a reputable source... Whether that be an IWC Authorized Dealer, or a well known and established second hand dealer..

Buying from an unknown is always a gamble. They can always show you pictures of an authentic watch, but then ship you a fake one. Why risk it?
