Quick answer

A replica IW328062 is a copy of an IWC Pilot's Watch. Prices for these copies run from about $150 to $700. The movement sets the price, not the case. A copy with a Miyota 9015 sells near $250. A Seagull ST2130 version sells near $180. Higher tiers use an ETA 2824 or Sellita SW200 and sell above $450.

IWC does not publish a catalog entry that matches IW328062 in plain sight, and sellers use the number for more than one dial color. Compare seller photos to IWC's site before you pay.

What the reference covers

Numbers in the IW328xxx block sit in IWC's Pilot's Watch family. Copies sold under IW328062 follow the same formula: a round steel case near 40 mm, a black or blue dial, Arabic numerals, a triangle at 12 o'clock, broad central hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. IWC lists the Mark XX at 40 mm with caliber 32111, a 120-hour power reserve, and 100 m water resistance. Replica listings quote the same figures. Few copies hold those figures on a bench test.

Case, crystal, and bracelet

  • Case diameter: 40 mm on most listings, 41 mm on some. Ask for a caliper photo.
  • Lug width: 20 mm on strap versions.
  • Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating inside. Coating on both faces shows a blue tint under light.
  • Caseback: screw-down and engraved. Engraving depth separates tiers.
  • Bracelet: steel with push pins. End link fit against the case is loose on low tiers.

Movement tiers and price

  1. $150 to $220: Seagull ST2130 or a generic 8215. Hand-winding feels rough. Date change drags.
  2. $220 to $350: Miyota 9015. 28,800 vph, 24 jewels, 42-hour reserve. Service parts exist in the US.
  3. $350 to $500: ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 with a decorated rotor and engraved bridges.
  4. $500 and up: Swiss ebauche base, adjusted in more than one position.

Details that get copied wrong

  • Date font. IWC uses flat, narrow numerals. Copies print a wider font.
  • Dial text. The gap between the brand name and the city line runs too wide.
  • Lume. Apply sits uneven at the 12 o'clock triangle.
  • Minute track. Ticks crowd at 12 and 6.
  • Crown. IWC signs the crown. Copies etch it shallow or leave it blank.
  • Rotor engraving. Letterforms differ from the genuine part.

Water resistance

Listings claim 100 m. ISO 22810 covers the test and the marking for that rating. Most copies fail a pressure test at 3 bar because of gasket fit at the caseback and crown. Treat a replica as splash-proof. Have a watchmaker run a pressure test if you plan to swim.

Legal status in the US

U.S. Customs and Border Protection can seize counterfeit imports under 19 U.S.C. 1526 and destroy the goods. The buyer can face a civil penalty. Sellers route packages to lower the odds of inspection. That does not change the rule.

Before you pay

  • Ask for a photo of the movement through the caseback.
  • Ask for a timegrapher reading: rate, amplitude, beat error.
  • Ask for the return window and the shipping method.
  • Pay with a method that offers a dispute process.
