Dear Forum,
I hope you can help me with a bit of history on my newly acquired watch.
The case is serial no. 704XXX, with Swiss hallmarks “IWC Scafusia”, “Big Bear”, “Small Bear”, “N” and 0.900.
The movement is Calibra 64, with the serial no. 627XXX
The watch is working, but needs restoration.
Pictures iwc.home2m3.dk :
What I have found out so far is that the movement must be from 1915, and that the case is 1913 later and manufactured in Neuchatel, Switzerland.
I have also found the watch described in “IWC Catalog/Pricelist 1914 – German”
Silber 900/1000 Goldkrone. (Although it is listed as Calibra 63, which must be a mistake)
Based on the hallmarks and the fact that it is “Coin silver” I conclude that is can’t have been made for export to England.
Could you tell me if it is a rare or an ordinary watch, and maybe also an indication of value.
I would also like to know if there is a way to get an official IWC certificate on the watch.
Thank you in advance.
Jan
