    I would be interested in the opinion of the experts on this forum.

    The movement is. All the rest, case, dial, hands, is not.

    Again, if you see an IWC-labeled watch with sub-seconds at 9 o'clock, and it is not (a) a minute repeater nor (b) a chronograph, it's a marriage.

    What is that little button at the 2 position on the case?

    I assume it is a pin set pocket watch movement. You push the button and turn the crown to set the hands, rather than pulling out the crown.

    I can't argue with Ralph's assessment though.

    I assumed it wasn't. But then you think, "I better ask, just in case".
