Couldn’t move the caseback with my usual tool (no I didn’t scratch it), so I made myself a better one……..

…… and off it came, revealing a very nice clean movement. Looking at the screws, I doubt a screwdriver have ever turned them counterclockwise?

220 bezel:

Now to find a good watchmaker for what I believe will be its first service.😀

Very good example of a reference, with a correct quirk.

With access to a CAD/CAM system and a CNC machine, it's pretty simple.

That would make an interesting group buy? 😁

So does the quirk, just fall into these 68-69's? And is it just the 220 quirk? Thank you
