IWC appeals to buyers who want serious watchmaking without the loudest logo on the dial. Portugieser chronographs and Big Pilot's watches are the strongest sellers, and the brand's gold dress pieces are always in demand around the coast.
What we look at
Complications carry weight with IWC — perpetual calendars, annual calendars and power-reserve models are valued individually rather than by a general brand rule. Service records from an authorised centre help considerably.

IWC Schaffhausen questions we are asked
Do you buy IWC watches with complications?
Yes, and we value them individually rather than applying a flat brand rate.
Does an IWC need its papers?
It helps, but we regularly buy IWCs without them.
