# IWC 18k Cal. 88 Video: [https://imgur.com/a/CBp9GU1](https://imgur.com/a/CBp9GU1) Up for sale is a vintage IWC solid 18k gold cal. 88 piece dating to approximately 1948. This is in extremely good condition for its age, both cosmetically and mechanically. The dial shows almost no patina and is in excellent condition, and the case is sharp with thick lugs. The movement winds, sets, and runs smoothly. The Cal. 88 was the sub seconds sister movement to the Cal. 89, and was introduced the same year (1946) and run until the 1960s. However, production was much much lower in volume than the cal. 89 at an estimated 37,000 movements across those two decades across all case/dial variants. The 18k gold case measures approximately 34.5mm wide without the crown, with a 43mm lug to lug length and 18mm lug width. **Imgur album:** [https://imgur.com/a/iwc-18k-1948-cal-88-D8xFukM](https://imgur.com/a/iwc-18k-1948-cal-88-D8xFukM) **Timestamp**: [https://imgur.com/a/fePIc7p](https://imgur.com/a/fePIc7p) I’m asking $1850 shipped (a very very competitive price for a gold cal. 88 in this condition) in the US via wire, Zelle, or Venmo. No trades. Also happy to meet F2F, located north of Boston. I will ship internationally and only charge the difference in cost on top. Please let me know if you have any questions!

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!!
