    Hello everyone. I am now to the forum. This is my most recent purchase. The watch wears great and looks fine to me, but my watchmaker raised some concerns about autenticity. He said the movement look bad, some bridgets/ plates were not polished to ETA/IWC standards, that they look like parts from chinese copies of ETA 7750. Also, form the inside, the 2 links closest to the case look like aftermarket copies to him, hey are not nearlya s nicely finished as the resto of the bracelet. Maybe someone here could help me confirm if this movement nad bracelet is original or not.

    Also, the watch has this big old aged sticker on the caseback. No one knows how it got here nor whether it is original or not. If someone has seen something similar, I would like more info about it.​​​​

    Hello Nikola.

    Ideally you bring the watch to a IWC BTQ near by stores.iwc.com/ or, when near Schaffhausen go to the watchmaker, sitting in the entrance area to get some insights.
