Ouch. Poor old girl. It looks like someone was trying to scrap the whole watch.

A total hopeless objects, the only assignable to the entire clock is the hour hand (if you do not have any requirements). Otherwise it's a ref: 6534 with a cal: 1030 works, however, slain on maybe one or two usable parts, the rest enclosed in a box. Free Delivery


wonder what the hell happened

I would have paid $150 with free shipping - there are parts I could use
I wonder where the date roulette wheel is - I see it in the watch but
absent in the parts container.
