Looking good I saw this a lot in the xbay but dare not to touch it since i do not know how to differentiate the real and fake... btw, where do you source this one from? I mean if need not to mention the shop but in general, how you acquire this piece

I mean if need not to mention the shop but in general, how you acquire this piece As you can see the "Jones Arrow " is out of position so this guy has to send this piece to the service center via our boutique. It belongs to a certain Royalty . It's still on the process of refurbishment in Schaffhausen. There's a few things you have to lookout for is the IWC hallmark and there will sure be some servicing engravement too at the inner cover, this will determine it's genuine. Eventhough there no branding on the dial but the movement is a F.A Jones movement.

Even I have the 50/50 feeling about this piece but with thrust on my feelings towards the owner,we send it to the SC and they confirm it's a genuine. There's pictures in the IWC Time Engineering Book that have similar movements as this piece.Thanks Seen a lot with different dial and the movement did has IWC engraved.... as i'm not familiar with the vintage it's very hard to venture into it... unless my seller are a reliable one
