    I have here a lovely IWC cal83, 18k yellow gold watch, dated to the 1940s.

    Original dial, with small amount of blemishes and age spotting , which is more obvious under macro and flash photography than to naked eyes. For a 70+ year old watch, it's in an outstanding condition. The case is still in very good shape. Hands have small amount of oxidisation but these are genuine hands. It's signed on the dial and the case cover. Crown not signed (which is normal for watch of this period).

    The movement, IWC cal 83, serviced 2 years ago.Watch references available, although a bit out of date as I haven't sold a watch in awhile.

    asking USD$3800, or AUD$4100, paypal and shipping included. For international , I ship with EMS with tracking.

    thank you

    Dare I say - are those lugs the same variation as on the wonderful UG chrono we've had posts about?

    yes, very similar. I guess it must've been the fashion of the era? :)

    can't be sure. the angulation of the lugs are different though. Possible? Only IWC and UG can tell us that.

    Yes you can. Casemaker's mark tells us that it is made by Henri Jeanneret of Peseux - same as the UG, Zenith and probably the others.

    casemaker's mark on the inside caseback - in this instance the "166" in the hammerhead.

    No. Only the gold cases are marked. A given manufacturer would contract caes out to dozens of different case manufacturers, so it does not follow that UG = Henri Jeanneret
