Two case makers La Central Boites (and Hueguenin Freres) made the 1966 105.012 watch cases. Watches made by the former have an extra step at the top of their lugs, which is sometimes accidentally polished during service.
From 1968 to today, this watch is the symbol of IWC Portuguese Replica Professional. This watch features the Lyre lugs that were introduced with the 105.012, and a new Caliber 851. It also has a shuttle cam,IWC Portuguese Replica
instead of a column-wheel system. The modern version of this mechanism can still be found in the IWC Portuguese Replica Professional. Collectors prefer this watch to the pre-1970 Dot Over Ninety (or DON) bezel.
This reference also contains some of the fastest IWC Portuguese Replica dials with brown patina, chocolate, or dark brown patina. These dials are caused by a defective UV coating that has been exposed to heat and light over time. IWC Portuguese Replica101.com's friend William Roberts tells us that these watches should be in units with movement numbers 29.11X.XXXX to 29.60X.XXX. The book Moonwatch Only places the movement numbers slightly wider at 29.110.XXXXXX to 31.009.XXX.
