Presents Beautifully - Finest Men's Watch - 1
Year Warranty
We are pleased to offer today's this restored IWC mens dress
watch that presents beautifully. It measures 34mm in diameter
without the crown (36mm with the crown) - the same diameter as
a Rolex Date watch.
For the movement the company used one of its superior Caliber
403 handwound mechanism with sweep seconds and micrometer regulator
and adjustments for three positions.
Housing the fine movement is its classic original steel
case with screw back.
The watch is fully IWC parts down to its original fish signed
crown, although we believe it most likely would have originally
come on a bracelet, and that the lugs have been added to accommodate
a strap. The gloss black dial with outer minute track is a perfect
refinishing. The movement has been freshly fully
serviced by a Master Watchmaker.
For the finishing touch a new leather strap has been installed making
it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase
is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom
printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a
new timing certificate.
