Aye aye aye, now I'm resistant to take it to a place to have it looked at.
They'll destroy it.

There is a bigger story behind this.
My grandfather had a collection of swiss watches (6 in total according to my grandmother). He apparently set three aside for his children, One was a Patek Phillipe, one was a Rolex (We've had both of these authenticated), and the final one is unknown as he didn't manage to gift it in time.
I love him dearly, but MY was he secretive. When I found this IWC I assumed it was the missing third gift. I'll have to keep looking.
There was also a rumor that he had a box of Kruggerands too... although he claimed he got rid of it.
