Ref 5441 in steel, witch relaunched the Portuguese line for IWC in the 90s. Its cal 9828 is a direct descendant of the original 982 dating back to the '40s, an original pocket watch movement which makes the watch large at 42 mm but amazingly thin at just 9.8 mm. It has an acrylic crystal, and a personal favorite: the spelled out brand in script instead of the modern 3 letter acronym. YaY!

This Wyler has been on the desk for a couple months, the crystal was scuffed and minute hand off the pinion.
Gave it some attention yesterday and it's on the wrist:

New acquisition and scenes from St. Pancras station, London, where old and new collide!

That looks quite a bit like a Harris's hawk! Do you work with raptors?

My first "good" watch. Now repaired (for the eleventeenth time) but I don't have a wrist shot on this computer...

Just because you can, my latest acquisition, the Patina Master,
Sometimes it's what's inside that counts.

What intrigues me about this watch is the numerous watchmakers marks inside and the pristine movement, obviously some one cared a great deal about it but how they could live with the cosmetics? There must have been a strong sentimental attachment I am guessing.

That may be a more authentic tool watch than what is passed off as tool watches here on the Forum!
