IWC did not produce a chronograph wristwatch until the 1980s. The signature on the dial is not consistent with IWC production and the movement is neither by IWC (at a time when all movements were in-house) and not finisihed to IWC's standards.

Here is your first picture and to my knowledge this is definitely not a genuine IWC watch. Looks like a vintage chronograph and someone just printed IWC on the dial.....

I have been offered a two button chrono wristwatch marked on the dial "I.W.C." and "Antimagnetic".
Here it is:

And my question obviously is: is it genuine, or some kind of a frankenwatch?
I have 23 hours to decide whether to buy it or not.
Thanks in advance
