·Beside the watch itself the seller gave me this massiv 18mm buckle:
For my taste this dressy watch should not be pared with a massive buckle like this, I just prefer classic 18 / 16mm straps combined with a slim sized buckle. So it should make sens to trade this one in for a "matching" one.
But.... Iam not sure if this item is genuine, I fear it could be a fake.
So IWC guys, is this buckle a fake item?
best regards from Germany

·Funny how those who appreciate Omega also appreciate IWC. I like Cals 83, 88, 89 a lot, and the excellent cases some of them came in - and if I had just acquired your beautiful watch (love the pics, thanks!), I wouldn't even care about whether I could trade the buckle. Sorry I can't answer your question properly, but I do hope your lovely IWC is soon wearing something "appropriate". Main headline - nice watch, well done!

·Beautiful watch! Love me my cal 89! I’m pretty sure that is a legit IWC buckle, though not 100%. As you said, either way it’s definitely not correct for your watch, which would have had the below buckle. They do come up for sale, I was able to acquire one from a forum member after posting a WTB.
Good luck and enjoy that watch!

·Thanks for your comments.
Yes I like the watch very much, especially the beautyful dial. I bought it from another memeber in a German watch related forum.
PS The Leicaflex SL is my favorite camera, it is still super smooth and extremly precise.
best regards
