Hey all,
Figured I'd introduce myself. I'm a longtime watch collector and finally looking to branch out to an IWC I've wanted for 10 years. I found a used one online and had some questions.
The watch I’m looking at has a bracelet that has polished second and fourth links, but I always thought these came on fully-satinated/brushed bracelets, while the Petit Prince and Spitfire models had the polished links. I did some digging and it looks like half the ones I see have the polished links, and the other half have the fully brushed bracelets. Anyone know if they changed this somewhere in the production run?
These are the pics from the listing
I have no reason to believe the seller is untrustworthy, but I am just trying to figure out where the bracelet came from and if it's a legitimate IWC bracelet. This thread https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/beware-of-fake-iwc-bracelets.4328314/ had me a little spooked.
