    Hello,

    Up for sale is a beautiful IWC from the 70s. It is a reference R810AD on IWC gay-freres bracelet.

    I would like 1800EUR net to me.
    I accept PayPal (fees at the charge of the buyer ~+3%) for well established forum members only and bank wire for every potential buyer.

    I am located in France so EU deals preferred. If located outside EU, the buyer is responsible for any additional taxes.
    Shipping fees are free if shipped within EU. For outside EU, I'll have to check separately.
    I accept returns if grossly misrepresented.

    Dimensions of the watch:
    The watch is 34mm in diameter without the crown.
    Lug to lug is 41mm across.
    Lug width is 18mm.

    The bracelet:
    The bracelet is from a company called gay-frères. They're known to make very high quality bracelet for the time. Brands like VC, Patek, AP, UG, Zenith, Rolex and others were their customers.

    This bracelet has 18mm lug and tapers to 16mm.
    It can fit a wrist up to 19cm of circumference.

    The dial:
    The dial has a beautiful ardoise texture. It goes from black to pale gray depending on the angle and light.
    It has nicely patinated tritium dots on the extremity of the markers.

    Movement :
    The movement is a caliber 8541B. It is one of the latest iteration of the pellaton calibers.
    This version features hacking second.
    It has a quickset date feature by going back and forth from 23:45 to 00:00.

    Additional remarks :
    The case has some scratches - especially on the lugs.
    The bracelet also has some scratches around the links near the clasp.

    The watch has not been serviced while in my possession. I do not know the service history.
    It works fine but I'd recommend to have it serviced for peace of mind.
