I'm not naive, just typed wrong. It was fixed with a case back gasket so the case back wasn't sitting as close to the movement. It's not that complicated to figure out.
You type total nonsense and then say it's not complicated to figure out. 🤦

Anyway, just as an FYI, it's not fixed, just a short-term patch. But it may disguise the symptoms for a while. Good luck.

It wasn't fixed. You've simply hidden the problem.

Double O rings or thicker gasket on case back will solve 50% of the problem for a while.
When the axle is loose, the rotor is sagging both ways in and out. Now the case back is moved out a bit but the rotor is still touching the bridge.

I'll take it to my watch maker when I'm in the area!

And just for clarity, the case back had no gasket in place upon receipt.

If you look closely you can see lume notches at the ends of some of the indices.
I think the dial is all original and correct.
The hands on the other hand look like non-lume replacements.
The dials on the 168,010s are almost always blistered, some present worse than others.

The case looks pretty good.
Replacement crown.
Replacement rotor but may have been to remedy the rotor rub.
Although I think the ‘new’ rotor is also rubbing.
Just in case anyone in the future searches, this is actually the original and "correct" crown for a 168.010.
