I looked some more at the pictures in the auction, noticed a few odd details.

The clutch/sliding pinion is from an alarm movement

The seconds pin is not long as it should be

The balance is not original, it should be the Glucydur type, maybe the whole assembly was missing, balance and balance cock

I wonder if some of the winding parts comes from Jorge in Chile

Polished barrel wheel, what's the thing with the brushed in one of the pictures

I think it is a put together movement

I wonder why it is for sale, it began as a part of a grail build, machining the case, making the spring for the case back, drilling, filing, turning and many other things.....

I remember,yes,seems the plans have changed during the movement service...I was looking forward to see the final result,that project was really promissing.
