    What do you think about this IWC
    - Is it real
    - Is it repainted?
    - Is it from the 40s?

    it is about 36mm with crown
    Thank you!

    It's certainly an authentic IWC caliber 88. It's also certainly a refinished dial.

    what do you think it could be worth, like it is? and the dial is it good or bad refinished?

    Not as good as IWC would do for you.

    It isn't worth any more than a parts watch to most collectors.
