    Hello

    I am wondering about the authenticity of this watch.
    I would really appreciate your input.

    Looks good to me movement wise.
    The photo resolution of the dial is too low to determine if it has been restored / repainted or not.

    That said, all looks good.

    I agree with Mark.

    Some additinal remarks.

    The movement fits exactly in the case. The metal ring was used by IWC to have a somewhat larger looking watch.

    The dial and the crown are typical for the era these watches were made.

    Adrian,
