would have posted this in the Fake/Franken section, as it clearly is VERY incorrect, but that's not the interesting point about it.
was watching it to see what that hodgepodge of parts would sell for; actually sad where this market is going, sold for $2.3k.

a blatantly incorrect ref. 806, not even a decent parts watch, as the dial is horribly refinished, sliderule is junk, hands incorrect, case w/ pitting & polished to hell, pushers & crown wrong - so the parts you might need are the bezel, some of the hands and the .....V178 you think and then you see not even this seems correct ?
it clearly is a Venus 152 - in what seems to be a professionally adapted case to hold the 13 lignes movement - and clearly not one for the 13 lignes R72, as it would be incompatible.
explanations anyone ?
Rene thinks it's just a turned down movement holder from another case, doubt that; the movement plating is in line w/ the plating used for the V178 in the 806s, as are the markings on the movement (different from the 1940s V152) - another task not easy for a "production run" of one piece ....
