    Hello all,

    I have received attached watches from an inheritance. Im am fairly certain
    that they are authentic and that they are made from gold. Unfortunately, since
    I have little to no experience with watches I wanted to ask the knowledgeable
    forum for advice on what models these might be.

    Thanks in advance for any
    help!

    Hi Uhrenneuling12

    the first watch you show is a IWC Ref. 810, most propably in 18k yellow gold.
    It comew with the famous Calibre 89 manual wound movement. The crown should
    show a fish symbol that shows the watch used to be resistant to water. The
    reference 810 was very popular from mid to end sixties.

    The second watch is harder to tell it comes with a Calibre 88 or 83 manual
    wound movement. However, the dial is not original and has most probably been
    repainted.

    To tell more about the watches, you need a watchmaker to open the case backs
    and take photos of the movemets and case stampings.
