Authentication of an IWC - costs and process?
Feb 10, 2016 IWC CAL. 89 - difference between case and calibre serial numbers gwzymytk Feb 9, 2016. Posts 771 Likes 9,056. Asked this question a while back on two other watch forums; received no answer. Most Longines with Swiss made cases from the early 1930s and prior have case numbers that reflect the movement (serial) number. This was true.

What's the process for authenticating an IWC? Can you do it through the original authorised seller or is it safer to go straight to IWC? If so, any idea of likely costs?

The best way to check it is authentic is to take it to an authorised dealer. If it is authentic they may well not charge but if it is a fake there may be some difficulties .. Alternatively you can go through the IWC web site. Register/log on and go to the collectors area. Click on 'extract from the ledgers'. There you can enter the case number and movement number and they'll send you a copy of the original entry in their records, date of production and to whom it was originally supplied i.e dealer, regiment, club or company. This can take a few weeks and costs CHF60. However this doesn't absolutely prove the authenticity as the (matching) serial numbers could be faked.. Finally you could photograph it carefully, put it on the IWC collectors forum as a new purchase and wait - if it is a fake they'll let you know soon enough!!Edited by Arrive Alive on Friday 19th February 01:06

It's an IWC Dopplechronograph comes with oiriginal wooden box tools, spare strap etc etc, but no authentication papers. Was originally purchased at Watches of Switzerland in Cambridge(now closed) and the owner does not have the original purchase receipt. Any views on what it might be worth in round figures in good but definitely not unworn condition?

I should have mentioned that they'll only issue a copy from the ledgers for a watch over 10 years old and, that for some very specialised watches (and those that do not have serial numbers) on return of the watch to the factory.
PS lovely watch.

It all looks good to me, I put the first bid in...
I think the watch is pre-2000 as it appears to have a tritium dial.
I'd like another!
