Here is the preferred way to post pictures. Hope this helps.

WOW - nice watch.
Looks to me to be a Cal 88 which was made between 1946 and 1964.
Nice find!

Thank you Mark - do you know reference number for this watch?

Best Regards,

Magnus

Hi Magnus
Not sure if this era of watches were assigned specific references. Check over here for something similar vintage catalogues

Thank you, I have looked there but can't find so much information. Have searched internet for a couple of hours on cal 88, there isn't so much information about the different type of cal 88.

Here is some different watches, if anyone have more information please post.

Best Regards Magnus

A short history about the watch, i bought it from a man who had get it from his granduncle. They had a shop in Kristianstad in the late seventies. They did not get a buyer of the shop and there where a couple of watches left, i think this is NOS. I have couple other watches from the beginning of the fifties from this seller which are new.

Here must be some more persons who have information about this watch, please help me and see my questions above.

Magnus, I think I make out the number to be 1226850 and the case number is 1253690 which would make it a cal.88 made and sold between 1951 and 1960.
I don't believe there is a reference for this model, otherwise it would be on the case. It does look in very nice condition and a good find. The movement is a good one and was used in the Mk 10 British military watch, which is very sought after, but your's is not, I believe, something very valuable and if you use google you will find some out there at various prices, from dealers to ebay.

Thank you David!

I found a couple of this 33,5mm - one with black dial. I appreciate your effort very much, nice to get more information about the watch.

Best Regards, Magnus

That's ok. It may not have great monetary value but it's a very good example of watch making and it would be good to see another IWC forum member enthused by the excellent watches they produced between the 30's and 80's.
