Hi, I am new to this forum!

I acquired an IWC solid yellow gold 18K recently and wanted to confirm its authenticity. It looks legit to me, from the dial to the movement but I am no IWC expert. Anyone here able to chime in?

It's the reference 1405 34mm version. Date brings it back to 1967 with the calibre 402. Will provide more photos below!

Edit: I can't seem to post the other photos due to file size restrictions, makes them as good as useless once resized. Will try another way!

I'm not a vintage IWC expert but the watch looks good to me. It is a lovely piece.

I finally had to get the Tapatalk app to post photos.
Haven't been able to download photos directly on this forum since they updated the site 1-1/2 or 2 years ago.

From the dial watch looks original.
But obviously photo of movement and case would help.
I Have not seen a fake of this type of watch yet.

I am not an expert but it is beautiful.

And not likely a watch high on a list for someone to counterfeit.
