No , an IWC pocket watch movement with a modern case dial and hands

It looks like an Alpha watch caseset and a 6497 style movement. Does this $100 watch look familiar?

Ugh, wandolec. That's a name that's almost as trustworthy as 'trusteboy12'!

I don't want to generalize (oh, here it comes), but you really want to keep a skeptical eye open when buying from sellers in the Ukraine. It's depressing how many people seem to be duped by these pocket-watch monstrosities. On the positive side, this particular example is a relatively honest fusion of modern looks and vintage guts. At least, I'd like to think that none of the bidders actually think this is a genuine wristwatch from 1912!
