Hi Tony,

I called Shreve & Co. in San Francisco and they will order one for me.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I am looking to replace the original buffalo leather strap my IWC 5002 came with, number 43744.
I live in California, any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much

Welcome aboard,

I am also new to the IWC collectors' forum and I know I will be learning more about IWC watches. Have you considered the legendary IWC Mark XVI pilot watch? I am lucky enough to have one and I must say is a beautiful watch.

David

Beautiful collection of vintage IWC watches, lucky you.

My first IWC watch was a Mark XVI and I still love to this day.

Hi Jochen,

That is what I figured after the owner told me the watch was serviced in 2015. I know the transitional 5002 models usually demand a higher premium and honestly I prefer the original slow beat "standard" version.

Hi everyone,

I noticed an IWC 5002 for sale with the probus scafusia crown and with case number 29577187
I was wondering if it is a transitional watch. Thank you very much.

Best wishes

I am sure I will learn a great deal reading these articles. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this helpful information. I sometimes can tell a fake watch when I see one.

Best wishes
David
