There is a small spring like part LOOSE in the movement. I have put it in a separate package within the package of the watch as not to loose it. See photo of the part.
Crown wind and a push button at the top to stop and start the centre seconds. It is fully wound. The enamel dial is not cracked but the glass / crystal plastic has scuff marks so it makes it looked cracked. Main hands are blued, as too are the smaller 2 dials and the centre seconds is fine gold.
The back case is very worn and has worn off the gold on the outer edge. Front case is good and the |||||||||| design around the case is good.
Movement has an inner dust cover. And movement is clean signed SWISS MADE. Numbered 8950 near the balance wheel. The push button works and you can see the parts inside moving as its being depressed.
The balance wheel is weighted, hairspring in situ. I cannot fully determine if the balance staff is broken or not to be fair. Sometimes they are easy to decide as they move about all over the place, this one does not when you gently move it with a pin. It moves as it should if it were ticking.
It is sold as SPARES or REPAIRS only.
Normal signs of age and use wear including some surface scuffs and minor impact marks etc.
The gold plating is quite worn on the back of the case as well as the crown and suspension loop.
The glass is a bit scuffed and scratched as shown in the photos.
