May I ask the experts to help look at this 352RG movement to see if anything unusual? Thanks

    Not a whole lot can be gleened from a photo alone, but it seems ok from what is visible, only a detailed in person exam can reveal the true condition and state of the movement.

    It certainly needs a service based on the condition of the case back gasket alone. I don't see wear on the weight from it rubbing, so likely the axle and jewels are good. Although you can't tell the true state of a movement from just one photo, often you can spot enough to call the watch a pass, but on this one it looks in good shape for these old bumper movements. Since many parts on these are discontinued, it's certainly worth asking the question.

    Cheers, Al

    Is that the only picture? Balance bridge image needed to be sure it's correct. Should have a flat plate with a screw

    Interesting watch, do you have a picture of the front? To me it seems that the colour of the movement (and maybe the entire picture) is off, perhaps due to some after editing?

    Thanks for looking. Here's the front. Would you mind looking at it also to see if it's original? Thanks

    That has been redialed at some point in its life. The font is off. Also, I would be surprised if the hands are correct, as there are no radium plots on the dial. I have never seen lume when combined with 1-12 Breguet numerals.

    The case is polished, but not obscenely so.
