    The closest thing I found

    Is ref. 3312 but, at a first glimpse, it differs compared to your model for the date and the bracelet.

    I couldn't even say it is original, let's wait for the experts.

    What I can surely say, it is not allowed to offer watches in this forum, I guess your post will be deleted, please, do read forum rules before posting, it might help next time.

    Regards,

    Roberto

    not much interest in quartz vintage here...

    ...and also your watch is "so unusual" that there is an issue whether it was pieced together from various parts, raising an issue of authenticity.

    Sorry we can't be more helpful for such an obscure --not in the sense of rare, but minor-- piece.

    Regards,
    Michael

    Inusual Yacht Club II

    If someone would like to buy a Yachtclub II, I would be surprised that he would buy this one. There are a lot of better ones that can be bought. This one has no seconds hand, no mentioning of "yachtclub" on the dial, the caliber used seems not correct...
    If this one is really a special find, it should have documentation from IWC Schaffhausen to prove this, if not, I would recomment to leave it were it is.

    final comments from my side

    I am sorry that my words last week were not followed up. I thought I had posted - but it seems not.

    I believe this is not an authentic factory produced quartz Yacht Club II. At best it is an authentic YCII steel case (you still didnt tell me the size) but the movement and dial are not correct for any of the members of the YCII family. I checked through what I believe to be a comprehensive files-set and this variation of the watch does not exist in prototype or production. It seems that someone has used some of their skills to put together a marriage.

    If you have additional information please share.
    You mentioned a value in an earlier post.....in my opinion there is one too many "zero"s in your suggestion.

    Andrew
