Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a refurbished French military chrono (Airain, Dodane, Chronofixe) Telltale signs are the refurbished countdown bezel, strange dial which I suspect isn't original. The caseback should have markings had it been an issued watch. And pics of the movement would certainly help determining if it ever had a military pedigree.

Movement shot is really irrelevant - so many things wrong here, I don’t know where to start. 🤮

Agree with you partly. For full money this is a lemon. For EUR 500 I'm game 🙄

Ok. But for what?

A Broad Arrow on the dial would suggest it was British military issue, but the arrow doesn't look right to me.

Doh! I knew I forgot something. Gimme 5 minutes and a white Sharpie and it'll be a dimensionally perfect pheon.

Cheers for all the responses! I was unsure but you have all confirmed my suspicions! I'll stay well clear of this one I think!.
Thanks again

Is this watch in your possession ?
Stating no movement pics are available I am guessing no ? If it’s for sale does the seller have no info about it ?

It's at an auction and these are the only pics provided and the description is very minimal, it's not local so can't view it either.

Tritium lume doesn't usually go all dark & fungal like that.

Have at it mate. 👍

A Broad Arrow on the dial would suggest it is a put-together piece of crap, but the arrow will look great sticking in the buyer's buttock (having already penetrated his wallet).

Fixed that for you. 😜

No idea, not (yet) published. I found out early this morning that I could not bid. Immediately sent the auctioneer an email. Zero response.

Still not published and it seems auction house does not publish results at all.
