This one has been feeling neglected. Haven’t worn it for a year or so. Caliber 341, circa early 1950s. This one is a survivor. Condition when it came to me was such that many would have considered it as a donor, useful only for parts. Gold shell case on it was destroyed. Beyond doing anything with. Dial was equally bad. A quick check in my stash, and I discovered that I had a steel case, and much better dial. With a hand-made case clamp, new mainspring, recondition, replace sad hour hand, non-genuine crown, and voila. Here is the result. An excellent runner. Considering the terrible abuse it had endured, I was delighted that the movement survived in quite good condition.
