    Hello All,

    I'm new to forum and am hoping on some veterans for some help and expertise.....I am contemplating purchasing this watch and, it looks good to me, though I can't seem to verify the dial signature of "SWISS MADE". At the recommendation of another forum member and close friend, thought to ask for the good guidance of you gentleman.

    It's a 666, movement 853, 1.7 million serial, non calendar.

    Thanks so much in advance.

    Best,

    Adam

    I have three of these. I think there is a chance that this could be a repainted dial but hard to tell just from this photo. Do you have other photos? Have you asked the seller if dial is untouched original?

    Hello Kev23,

    Thanks for your post. HAPPY to send you some images for your review. The seller has advised that the watch is 100% correct, yet, I can't find another SWISS MADE signed dial.

    What's your e-mail address?

    Best!

    Adam

    It is most likely a repaint, but with vintage IWCs I learned never to say never. You can reach your own conclusions.Clicking here for the Bible for Vintage Ingenieurs
