IWC watches we buy
We buy the IWC Portugieser in its Chronograph, Automatic, Perpetual Calendar and hand wound forms, Pilot's Watches from the Mark XI through the Mark XII, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII and XX, the Big Pilot, pilot's chronographs and Top Gun models in ceramic. We also buy the Portofino, the Ingenieur including the Ingenieur SL, the Aquatimer and the Da Vinci, along with vintage watches fitted with the calibre 89 and the automatic calibre 8541. Steel, titanium, ceramic, 18KT gold and platinum are all considered.
Case numbers, movement numbers and references
IWC numbers the case and the movement separately. On modern watches the reference, beginning IW, and the case number are engraved on the case back. On vintage pieces the case number is inside the case back and the movement number is on the movement, alongside the calibre. We check that the case, movement, dial and hands belong together and to the correct period for the reference.
Box, papers, service history and condition
Lay out the box, guarantee card or papers, booklets, spare links and service invoices and include them in the photographs. None of them is required, and we buy watches that have lost them. Condition is assessed on the case and whether it has been polished, the crystal, the bracelet or strap and clasp, and the dial. On vintage IWC an original, unrestored dial matters a great deal, and a refinished dial is noted. A watch that is not running is still bought. Every offer is subject to inspection.

Questions about selling IWC watch
Can I sell an IWC watch without box and papers?
Yes. We buy with or without box and papers. The case number and movement number identify the watch, and we authenticate it in house at inspection. Papers and service invoices support the valuation, so include them if you have them.
Where is the serial number on an IWC watch?
On modern IWC watches the case number and the reference, which begins IW, are engraved on the outside of the case back. On vintage watches the case number is stamped inside the case back and the movement carries its own number. Please do not open the case yourself: a photograph of the outside is enough for a first valuation.
Do you buy vintage IWC watches?
Yes. We buy vintage IWC from the 1940s onwards, including calibre 89 hand wound watches, the Mark XI, calibre 8541 automatics, early Ingenieur and Yacht Club models and gold dress watches. Tell us what you know of its history and send photographs of the dial and case back.
Does my IWC need a service before I sell it?
No. Send the watch as it is. We buy IWC watches that are running, overdue a service or not working at all, and the condition of the movement is assessed at inspection. If the watch has been serviced, a photograph of the invoice is useful.
How does selling an IWC watch to Mozeris work?
The valuation from photographs comes first and is free. To proceed, we arrange FedEx collection from your address at no charge, insured to £10,000, or you send the watch by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we refund the postage. We examine the watch, confirm the offer and pay by bank transfer the same day once you accept. Selling in person is possible by appointment in Mayfair, London or Braintree, Essex. Mozeris is an independent dealer and is not affiliated with IWC.
