Hi, deepsea,
Is that a quartz or an automatic?

If it is an automatic, I guess it's powered by the Cal. ML37 which is based on the ETA 2824/2 and equipped with moonphase and annual calendar complications.

Thanks Tony for the Info, Custom made that's the reason why I can't find this specific model on Google, any Idea what's the number code at the back cover means ? How much do you think this watch cost? Thanks

I think it is Quartz because I just sent this to watch shop for battery replacement, I did ask if authentic and they say yes. Any Idea where can I sell this watch? and for how much? Thanks

If that's a quartz, it's probably powered by the Swiss ESA 255.485. Cost of the movement when new is probably just RM 200++. Hate to pop your expectation but I don't think an ML and a quartz ML especially will fetch much money. I am no expert in this, but I think it's better to just keep the watch.

Most of the arabs have their watches custom made and this looks like one of them.Yup,it is the older phase de lune (I have the newer version).concur that is hard to sell,let alone a quartz

Hi deepsea, the model number is MP 6066, 35mm, yr. 1990s.. The bezel comes with with ori. diamonds, there is 2 version , 1 auto, 2 quartz. To adjust day  date on the auto is at 2& 4 0'clock with tooth pick. Is yours similar?

The pictured watch Does not seem to have the required holes for insertion of toothpick like mine has.A toothpick like instrument came with my PDL but for convenience,I just grab a toothpick ;)
Maybe quartz and auto differs in the date change mechanism

This One doesn't have adjustment for toothpick, all can be adjusted by the crown.

Thanks for the info, but I see the bezel are gold, same with bracelet. I was hoping I could sell this and buy a tag heuer because I can't wear  ladies watch.
