LEGITIMACY OF AN IWC 808/807-AD ROMAN DIAL

Recommended Posts

Dear forum,

I am considering to acquire an IWC 807/808-AD caliber 8541 in yellow gold with a roman dial in white (Picture 1).

My main concern is the dial.  Is this an original dial or replacement dial? 

I reviewed a photo found in the 1968 catalogue and the dial is distinctly different around the date display (The numeral III is showing on the watch I am considering).

I have however found one watch sold with the same dial in the URL below. It states this is a 1968, which seems odd given the catalogue roman dial.

Does anyone know if the watch I am considering has a fully original dial? If so, what should I be willing to pay for the watch? 

Greatful for all response and enlightenment.

Best,
Christoffer
