I have had a few 34x 35x movements. I have noticed hearing the rotor scrape the case back on some fo them. I still have two of these. I don't usually purchase watches without second indication but I liked the one pictured. I expect that it will be difficult to restore the automatic piece of the movement. I believe that the ball bearings were rubies. I like the 34x/35x watches but I have a concern about maintenance. If something were to happen to the rotor, would it be possible to remove the auto winder mechanism and use the watch as a manual wind movement? Any thoughts appreciated.
