ID of IWC mark dial

I can't
find this dial anywhere, anyone else who has some information on the
dial.

BFH regards

It's a Tritium dial for a RAF Mark 11, and it's unusual because the T is not
inside a circle. The hand does not belong to that dial.

You may be able to find a similar dial by seaching the net.

Thanks for
your reply.

The hand is fixed as the latter pic shows, the dial is verified as original by
watchmaker, but no one has seen this one before, size lettering etc fits
perfectly, this one came with another dial with correct numbers on the back
61xxxZJ also from IWC, both dials have slight lumens.

I have nothing to add other than that dial was for a IWC cal 89, the luminouts
paint has fallen off, and repeat that the hand does not belong there and
should be easily removed, preferably by a watchmaker.

This is the back side of the mark 11 dial ![This is the back side, and very
different from the original. Thanks for

your reply, we were just taken apart from the v shape cut above the 12 and

As you already mentioned, this dial is at least debatable. Not only the notch
at the twelve, which no Mk. 11 dial has. As well the structure of the back.

Have you checked with a magnet? An all original literally "jumps" on a magnet
(not a very strong magnet, simply something like a refrigerator magnet) once
the magnet is in the vicinity of the dial. In case the dial reacts in that
very clear way, it presumably has been an all original Mk. 11 dial in former
times which was reduced in thickness and got that notch to fit to another
watch and was spoiled that way. If it doesn't such a clear reaction it is not
only spoiled, it is simply fake.

Thanks for your thorough response, it is magnetic.

We had the dial scrutinized along with an original IWC mk 11 dial and could
not find anything, apart from the hand and maybe the T. Of course the obvious
milling on the back and there is still lumens on 9 and 6 not much but enough
for us to believe that this was a mk 11. The milling and the notch really
threw us aback, and had us thinking Why in all that is sacred would you do
something like that...

For fun here's a picture of the above mentioned dial dangling on a kitchen
