I'm not really into watches but my father's got a Swiss IWC that he cares about.

Are they any good or should I start teasing him about wearing a piece of junk around his wrist?

Older IWC are really well made and solid, new ones not so sure about.
Mk 10 manual is good 50's - 60's manual.
Mk 11 fantastic automatic 60's - 70's.
Without checking my dates don't fully quote me.
Made some good military watches very collectable and valuable.
I know my stuff very well.
I used to assemble minute repeating mechanisms for a swiss co. used to retail for £100k - £150k, now I restore old wrist and pocket watches.
