Hi MK. All the votes will be "Not Sure" unless the pics can be posted as full images instead of non-expandable thumb nail sized.

Hi MK. All the votes will be "Not Sure" unless the pics can be posted as full images instead of non-expandable thumb nail sized.

Ok, I'm a newbie. Can you assist in creating full image?

First, the dial has been refinished. Second, what's up with the engraved text on that movement, particularly the wheel train bridge's TWENTY FOUR 24 JEWELS? I'd wait for more opinions but my spider sense is tingling over that.

Ok, thanks ulackfocus. I'll wait for more opinions to weigh in. The movement does have a marking "552". Refinished dial was my suspicion too.

Don't do that, Threads should not be deleted without good cause, others can use it as an educational tool.

I've undeleted those posts, really we want every post to be a signpost that other members can read and learn from what was discussed

My apology. Thanks dsio & cicindela. I appreciate the advice & the undeletion (if that's a word) 😀
