Hi guys,

Attached is a photo of one of my father's IWC watches. That he has had for over 20 years, however we don't know anything of the watch, as far as I know the hands are not original.

If anyone has any information on this watch that would be great.

More pictures available upon request :)

Thanks in advance.

No information for you but that is one sharp looking watch. I hope you plan to keep it in honor of your father. One can never replace those kinds of memories. My father had a rose gold pocket watch. Worth very little but I paid $300.00 to have it completely torn apart and serviced. It works great and I have a lasting memory of my father. Your Dad's watch is a beaut.

Thank you, Terry.

Believe me this watch will always be in my possession.

It is just a shame I don't know more about the history of the watch.

Hi Attila,
I'd go onto the IWC forum, there are many vintage collectors who'll recognise that...
I think its a Cal.83 as t has the small seconds at 6 O'clock although couldn't say with total conviction... It's a very beautiful piece however.

Thanks for your reply, which IWC forum are you referring to, the one on their web site?

@Attila

it's a beautiful watch, but of course, more beautiful are the memories that go with it!

I don't know much about IWC watches, but it looks like a "Portugieser" to me. At least the face and dial style are the same.

Stunning watch, simple as that. So good looking it makes my eyes hurt.

Wow! A watch I'd be pleased to have in my collection.
