I really do like it

...and the best thing is the seller agreed for me to have a week of wrist -trial with it before paying for it.

I suppose this is even more dangerous to my wallet : ) the more i look at it the more handsome it is.

Am running a test to see how it keeps time for now.

IWC did make that model. Whether yours is genuine I can't tell you with certainty, but I don't see any obvious problem.

If you like it, buy it.
