I don't really want to say exactly how it was listed, other than it didn't say "IWC", but the owner thought it was from WW2 when it in fact dates to 1950. He asked me if I knew what the engravings on the back meant which was a bit cringeworthy as typing them in Google reveals everything.
You don't need to repeatedly scour eBay if you save a few carefully written search terms which it will search for you. They have stopped allowing "*" wildcards now which is a shame, but the other Boolean terms still work so you can filter the crap out.
