Don't wanna open another thread, but this is an Audemars Piguet too (even if in the description the seller says it's a Bell & Ross Br 094)


Hilarious !!!

Check his other auctions. The Omega is…interesting 🤔
It's weird though, some of those are gens he's selling to my eye, and even have the ebay inspection/authenticity check.

Also, lol at OP not knowng what a marriage watch is. Of course it's not a real model, marriage watches aren't real models to begin with. A marriage watch is a custom made watch that uses a movement from another watch/pocket watch/clock/etc. These weren't uncommon in the early 1900s. I don't know enough about vintage AP movements to identify what it is. It has to be pre 1930s or so though if it's real. The other issue with marriage watches is often they make modifications to the movement itself, so it's going to be real hard to identify what the original movement/caliber was. The boxset is cringe AF though.

My best guess is this is not an AP movement, but instead a Jules Louis Audemars movement, or a Louis Ferers movement, that's had custom engraving done to it.

Yeah it's a modified ~1860s-1870s Louis Audemar movement if it's real (who would even rep this though). It's likely a 11415, 11568, or 15986. Here's some references:


I think the last date this could have been made is around 1885, this piece is different on all of his later movements:

The bridge is likely custom, or they must have plated it and then engraved it.
