路Unfortunately, the seller cancelled the order after I won the auction so will not be able to post the pics but maybe that's for good.

Oh no, that stinks! You had gotten a good deal on it I thought. It looks like most of these no-name alarm watches are going for about $175usd (with named ones a little higher), with the occasional one that slides under the radar.
I have two incoming (one with a date, so a 1568), thanks to some accidental bidding(though both need a service, which is my goal 馃榾).
It is an incredibly common movement though, so I assume you'll find another soon enough .
Responding in more length now I'm at a computer:
If you are interested in finding something with this movement (or one of its decendents, bulova/citizen each customized it, including switching to a single mainspring design!), it is pretty distinct. Any alarm watch with the crowns in those two positions are AS1475 based as far as I can tell.
ONE good example of this that can find you great examples is the Ukrainian Poljot brand. It has an obvious clone of the AS1475 movement and might just be part-for-part compatible (unconfirmed, but they definitely LOOK identical best I can tell). These can be had for ~$50-$75 USD all day, AND tend to be 'newer' because they are all from the 80s and 90s.
These are the two I ended up with, but neither in hand:

oooh both are sold now, but I will keep looking, thank you so much, and keep us updated when you receive your watches
Ah, you misunderstood, those are the two I bought, but haven't arrived yet. But that Poljot brand has some fantastic ones in good shape you might check out:
