IWC Spitfire

I picked up this spitfire

I have seen just a few variations of it but I am wondering which came first or why the changes.

Mine has the “fish” on the stem

Mine also had the name down below instead of “Tzc automatic “.

The first picture is mine. I attached what I think is the reference model.

The next is a variation.

Full service from Iwc is 600 or so, so I will send it off for that. They are sending me a care/shipping kit and I’m awaiting that. Can’t wait. I will update with service along the way.

Here is a few. Hard to tell from this photo but the crystal is about perfect.

The dial looks 'calmer'. 👍

I’m not sure what the model difference is between the one I got and the one with the TZC script.

I also prefer the simpler model.

IWC communication early has been great. I’ll keep posted.

So I sent IWC a email requesting service. In one day they sent me prepaid box and shipping instructions.

I will update as we go.
