Hi guys, I was going through some vintage cal 89 for sale and saw this recently serviced IWC cal 89. I'm pretty new to IWC and vintage watches and there are so many cal 89 version out there that made researching a tad bit more challenging.
I've found that the Serial Number on both cases and movement dates back to 1955. And that's all that i manage to find out.
I know that there are lots of gold cal 89 out there and very little SS ones and i can't seem to find a similar pair online. This one is with SS case, cream Dail, gold hands and marker. Does any one know which Ref. does it belong to or if it is authentic?
I was told the crown and buckle is not original, so does anyone here know if the crown does match with the original?
Lastly, i don't know if this is appropriate to ask, but how much would you guys pay for such a watch?
Thanks for all the help guys!
