Good day everyone!

I would like to get your insight about this IWC 83 Inca from around 1946/47

I have three doubts

1) No inca in the movement

2) No logo inside the watch back

3) Crown not original to the Watch

What do you think about this Watch?

Thanks a lot for your replies!

Hi
You mean no INCA script on the movement? The Incabloc itself is there

Yeah Sorry, I meant the Inca script near the serial on the movement.

Thanks Franco 😉

Im 100 % sure crown isn't original to the watch... Other doubt is that IWC probus logo is missing...

I have read that sometimes watchmakers did cases and put inside the movement (but , then again, the script Inca is missing) ...

This is an example with a close serial number
