FS: IWC Ref. 1872 Cal. 8541

Hi guys,

I'm selling my IWC Ref. 1872, which features a Cal. 8541. The movement is supposedly one of IWC's best. More info on the movement can be found here:

The watch is supposedly from the early to mid 1970s. The size is 34mm x 40mm. The dial, hour markers and hands are silver. But the black lumes in the middle of the hour markers and the hands give great contrast, making the watch very easy to look at. It really has an understated elegance to it. I really like how the dial highlights and shadows change depending on the light (as you can see in one of the pics below). Unfortunately, the crown is unsigned so it might be a replacement. I bought this at Jack Road Tokyo (which is a very reputable store in Japan) last August 2015.

I'm selling this watch for USD 2200 (before Paypal and Fedex costs). Thanks!
