# IWC Caliber 852 Video: [https://imgur.com/a/KRtkjph](https://imgur.com/a/KRtkjph) This gorgeous vintage 1953 IWC piece is driven by the caliber 852 movement, which was made from 1952-1958 and limited to a total of about 13,000 units across all models before being succeeded by the much high production caliber 853 series. Like all IWC automatic movements, the caliber 852 utilizes the innovative and efficient Pellaton winding system, which gives the watch great shock protection compared to other pieces from the era. The highlight of this watch is the incredible and very rare black lacquered dial. The case is a classic IWC design and is in exceptional condition, nothing much more to say there. The movement on this is also winding and setting smoothly. Case 35mm wide (without crown), 42.2mm lug to lug, 12.4mm thick, with 18mm lugs. The large dial real estate here makes the watch wear larger than measurements might suggest. Wrist shot on my \~6.75" wrist provided for reference. **Imgur album:** [https://imgur.com/a/iwc-1953-black-lacquer-dial-cal-852-1bSuIBg](https://imgur.com/a/iwc-1953-black-lacquer-dial-cal-852-1bSuIBg) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/jWLi9Nh](https://imgur.com/a/jWLi9Nh) Asking **$999 shipped** in the US, payment via Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal F&F. I am happy to accommodate international shipping and will only charge the difference in cost on top. Also happy to meet F2F, north of Boston. I'm not interested in trades.

Great experience & transaction with mattmcmhn

Extremely flexible with my requests and questions. Adjusted the 2 day shipping to overnight with reasonable price adjustment. The watch I received "Tudor Black Bay" is absolutely as described and pictured with the box/papers. A 100% perfect transaction. Thanks again Matt! Adam

Smoothe transaction with Mattmcmhn!!

Just purchased a Pelagos from Mattmcmhn! Everything was better than stated. Matt immediately mailed the watch upon receipt of the funds. He answered all my questions and everything was better than I anticipated. I will purchase from Matt anytime!

mattmcmhn (Matt) is a soloid seller!

I just received a Rolex Explorer II from Matt, very smooth deal. The watch is better than advertised. I'd have no problem buying from him again. My only complaint, it was a tossup between my sawzall and the Jaws of Life to get the package opened, very securely packaged!!
