IWC is an abbreviation of International Watch Company, and as you can see from the English company name, it is a watch maker founded in 1868 by American Florentine Ariosto Jones.
Created with the aim of combining Swiss's outstanding craftsmanship with modern American engineering in the city of Schaffhausen on the German border. It is a company that was created.
The same Swiss watchmaker has a different philosophy from French-speaking companies such as Geneva and the Jew Valley, which is also expressed in watches.
This Ref.2582 is a rectangle watch made in 1972, It has a curved shape that can be said to be a little tonneau type.
The case is made of stainless steel and has a width of 28 mm, and the length is 35.5 mm including the lugs, which is a little larger than Cartier's tank.
The dial is a glossy mirror dial with lacquer spray coating.
Depending on the angle, there may be some scratches on the left end and slight cracks on the whole, but the condition is such that there is no major deterioration such as peeling.
There is no index display, only the IWC logo is displayed in white print, and the hands are white baton hands.
Very minimalist design with a very impressive contrast between glossy black and white.
Acrylic windshield (plexiglass) is used for the windshield. The
movement is equipped with a hand-wound Cal.403.
It is said to be the successor to Cal.89, a famous hand-wound machine, and the movement itself has been made smaller and thinner.
As you can see in the photo, it is a high-end machine with a Côtes de Genève finish.
HORWEEN's CHROMEXCEL (chrome excel) navy leather strap is attached.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
