    Came across this movement ... it runs but if I had to guess a watch maker left this movement too long in cleaning solutuion and the finish is just about all gone.... but this is such a cool movement .....

    20j adjust 8 positions....

    What I have...... please dont laugh.....

    Good Hunting

    I have this movement somewhere in a box. Got it and some IWC / Omegas from a guy who crushed watches for the gold cases. Odds are long trying to find a gold case :(
    That said, I got the movements for pennies on the dollar. :)
    That said, he removed them with a hammer and crowbar. :(

    I love the copper hands on this model - best wishes finding the parts necessary to get it back close to its original state

    Love that movement with that large exposed wheel/gear. Very aesthetic!
