Might I ask why you thought this is original and correct? Thanks

路I think the outer markings (points, minute idexes) are similar to the one I own. SWISS seems correct too.

Would you mind posting a pic?
Does yours have brushed sides?
Thanks for your help

路As I am living now in Southern France, not all my watches are here. The .89 is in still Germany. I add a picture I took today from my .83 here but I remember the elaboration of the 89 idexes at that time and IMO they look OK on yours.
The problem with the high-res. pictures is the edge of the Plexi that leads to distortions. If the indexes -as far as I remember- slightly "engraved". Concerned brushing: I dont rememer. Sorry.
I think there will be more answers coming up.

路A lot of these iwc's were refinished. Personally I always stayed away of thick fonts like this. Do you have a link to the sales post? The pictures are very blurry.
Couple of iwc's with thinner font. One of them is a 89
Thanks for the reply. Blurry pics and high prices raise suspicions. I鈥檝e included the link and any other ones I see I鈥檒l put up. Cheers https://thewatchcollector.co.uk/col...roducts/iwc-manual-winding-cal-89-dress-watch

What in your opinion should original cal.89鈥檚 be going for? They seem to fluctuate a lot.
Thanks for your help.

路I've sold similar iwc's here between eur 700 to 1500. You can find these often in Japan for around eur 800 or so. Sometimes even less. They are not rare. It could be a original dial.

路Also, the cal 89 pieces in 37mm cases will sell for more than the 35mm. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. The asking price is probably 3x too high for a 35mm IWC. Even at 1000拢, the seller would be doing well IMO. Personally, I really like the way the 37mm pieces wear, they are fantastic, and they also come with some interesting pug styles.
