That movement could be anywhere between 30-50 years old. It was probably taken out of an old watch and slapped into that aftermarket case with aftermarket dial and hands and sold on ebay without cleaning or servicing it since it was running. This could have happened several times over! You can see it has been worked over quite a bit, but clearly not as carefully as I am treating it lol
A couple of the springs have some black hard crust on them that won't come off, which I don't even know what it is. I'll take a closer look to see if it's rust. If it is I may have to remove it, or else it will continue to spread
Do you remember where it came from 68?
