Absolute Fake. Only the IWC Minute Repeater, and this is no Minute Repeater, and PW's have a seconds subdial at 9 O'clock. The movement side is a dead give-a-way too. It's junk.

As per everyone else, it is a fake - or to put it the same way the person who sold this watch would probably phrase it - "No, not fake, same same but different" but I have to add one thing ti Bill's comments - you forget the Portuguese 5001, Big Pilot Japan Edition (i think it was that one, I know there area few BP's with sub-dials instead of center seconds) and just about any other 5000 cal with seconds sub-dial.

No one so far,has pointed to the obvious:On the rotor reads: MADE IN SWIT ERLAND. Should read of course,and I concur with my fellow forum members that the watch is resoundingly a fake,MADE IN SWITZERLAND.

Yeh i noticed this when looking closely
Therefore, the price is always a good check. If it's to good to be true, don't buy it.
