    For further referrence, here is a picture of the movement of my Cal 40T chronometer.
    Not marked as chronometer on the movement, and I do believe that to be correct! The watch itself looked completely untouched prior to service and undergoing restoration.

    Thanks for the photos... true, some 40T's were certified chronometers and none - as far as I know - were marked as such on the movements.

    Franken-Zenith awarded to a Canadian wrestling champion in Texas with a Baylor movement and a Stellina of David. It doesn't get any more bizarre than this.

    here's a Port Royal - too bad about the dial, and second hand and the fact that the price is off by an order of magnitude

    This guy has absolutely cornered the marked on bad Zenith put-togethers and redials. A festival of good, hard-to-find parts badly used...

    How about this Movado? The seller claims that "refinishing is not evident".
