The seller has stopped his first auction. Now he is writing about the 1808-ref. Currently 3.000€!

A Franken (hard to believe) or a late spareparts-sampling-watch? Cal 11 with red datewheel is not uncommon...

yes, I've also seen this sometimes in another early one. This is also a reason why I'm asking if this watch could be built from spareparts. Problem also: Wrong caseback so we can't estimate the maufacturing date.

I suppose it's possible to modify a Cal 11 movement into a Cal 14 but there's enough wrong with this watch it could be a real money pit to get straight even if the parts were available. A put together watch at best.

listing ended, so afraid somebody has now spent a lot of money on a Franken.

Vintage: Please let us know, what's wrong except the caseback...

Well a 100% correct ref 2115 would have a Cal 14 GMT movement not a regular 12 hr Cal 11. In order to mount the extra GMT hand I would assume something has been done to the Cal 11 to make it all work.

Nothing uncommon for me. I've seen some 2115-models with cal 11 (serial numbers from 1969). Cal 14sx came end of 1969. If it was a early model, a Cal. 11 could be authentic. Problem here is the wrong caseback, so it's possible that someone has built this watch with parts....
