Hello everyone.

I would like to ask for everyone's wisdom.
The caliber of the watch I bought,
I can't find the same one on the internet.
Is it a fake or a real one?

If you know anything about this, please let me know!

I am not well-versed in vintage V&C but I think that the movement is likely authentic. However, the serial number seems to suggest that the movement dates to pre-1925, which seems too early for the design of the case and dial. Additionally, my intuition is that the movement looks quite large for a wristwatch caliber. Do you know the diameter of the movement? Also, do you have a photo of the inside of the case-back?

Thank you very much.
I will upload pictures of the case back later.
This is the only photo I have now.

I agree with @DirtyDozen12 that it is likely a re-cased pocket watch movement.

The dial was produced much later than the other components of the watch.

Dial appears to be from 40’s and I believe should be powered by the cal. 453 which this is not.

hands and crown both not original.
