It is on a ref. 11 IWC stainless steel bracelet. All in mint conditon. Unpolished, unmolested, just like a time-capsule.

... except for the date which is too close to the center. Most likely because the movement they used was too small for this particular case. In situations like this, I think manufacturers should hide the date.

In this case, I do not care. It is the 1st ref. "Ingenieur" and they at least preserved to cut the index at three. But .....

..... I totally agree that in today's standards they should/would have left the date window aside. Cheers, HSTE
