路Merry Christmas, i hope you are all well.
I have this 1954 IWC Cal 89. The previous owner must have had the dial changed to an applied logo one from the 1960 / 1970s. Also the crown does not carry the IWC fish logo, but a crown signed "IV", so i have to assume it is not original to the watch. But then it is not a recent replacment crown, but seem cleary an old one. Can anyone tell me something about it? The logo is not familiar to me.
It didnt disturb me so i left it unchanged, but as I am going to sell the watch the crown should be original IWC.
For completness, i add a few more pictures of the watch. It is pretty cool with original box and warranty paper. The case back carries an inscription, as it was given by a Swiss company to an employee for 25 years of servcie back in 1954
thanks,
Stefan
