Local to me and very unusual looking Rolex :-/
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F263449809474
46mm case size!
Edit: it's sort of suggested it's a pocket watch converted to a wrist watch, but then also claims it's brand new, and also claims year of manufacture as '2010 to now'.
What a mess. Hideous dial too.
I do really like the articulated lugs though.

It does look lovely.
The description seems odd. English probably not first language.
They state the movement is from an old pocket watch and the case is brand new.Originally Posted by hughtrimble
That looks horrible. I'd rather spend 1/10th of the price and get a genuine Rolex pocket watch (eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Authentic...8/401479188798 ) if I was wanting that sort of thing, rather than that monstrosity.
It is hideous I just wanted to poke it with a stick. I look forward to hearing a few more comments haha
It's called a 'marriage' watch because it's the union of bits of a pocketwatch & bits of a wristwatch.
They're often made in a shed in Eastern Europe from whatever odds & ends come to hand.
Avoid.

The vast majority of those I've seen have been for sale from Ukraine. No idea why that country specifically.
Probably says more about me but I quite like it.
Yikes! The screws that attached the bracelet to the case look brutal.
It does have some nice touches, and a look that at least stands out from the crowd. Some of the agricultural bits are charming in their own way too. But it’s £3400 over priced to my mind.
Seems like a waste of a perfectly good pocket watch to me. I wonder who is the market for these things
No one I’d imagine. But fair play to the seller, start high and work down. If it sells he’s a happy seller!
I’m speechlesswhoever buys this has more money than most
