*CLOSED* Authenticate This Jewelry

The movement should look like in this youtube video

Does it mean that the watch is not authentic?

Just means that it is 1am and I should be in bed. The top circle is a power reserve indicator which is why it counts down the seven days. It shows you the amount of torque remaining in the main spring of the watch.

I see. Is this model from 2013 or older?

I will need to do some more poking around but I can't seem to find any reference to a IWC ingenieur 7day with the power reserve at 12oclock, they seem to be usually on the right side of the dial at 3oclock.

Understand. Appreciate your assistance, Christofle

The dial layout closest to yours is the Iwc ingenieur chronograph racer...so I'm a bit stumped (minus the tachymeter bezel).

Do you have any idea if IWC offers free authentication even without documents?

No problem! How does the video compare to the watch?

I don't know but it wouldn't hurt to send them an email to ask them if they ever produced a similar model. An other option is to swing by your nearest authorized dealer.

Could you post another clearer picture of the movement?

I think there is a difference with the movement. & you are correct considering that it is chrono there should be pushers. Planning to take it to an authorized dealer for checking.

100% fake: probably a chinese possibly seagull movement

Thanks for the clearer shots

Most of the parts are simply stamped out metal without any finishing: no perlage, no cote de Geneve and the blued portion of the main plate is wholly uncharacteristic of an IWC movement. The escapement is also incorrect.

Hi, I need help authenticating this Hermès bracelet and watch. Sorry the pictures aren't super detailed. The seller says it's authentic but no tags or reciept. Price is a little too good to be true, even for pre-loved.

I don't know the H watches, but the bracelet is definitely a NO. I'm seeing stuff on the watch that makes think it's also probably fake, too.
