One last update. I got home tonight and opened the case back and it is indeed, 100% a cal. 565.

I'm seeing some rotor rub from a service weight, you might prod that weight to see how much play is there and maybe get that auto works serviced

I think your right. The rotor is rubbing a bit. It seems to be running OK-ish though. I think it’s gaining about 20 seconds a day. In the next few days I think I’m going to take it to my local watch smith and have a full service. I was also thinking of having the crystal replaced too but I did a little polishing on it myself last night and I think it’ll do just fine.

It was the rotor pinion.
