    so leaves two second from the left turn out to me a type one from the 50's from a guess got running lovely ran fine off the wrist on would stop after a few hours took a quick look at it again (remember never seen one in the flesh or owt ) and now just don't run at all so going to flip needing a service as case was a type one can't use for any other movement so yeah gets flipped .


    leaving this one


    did get this running well but the case back sent your wrist black so tried using the inner back only but still got a rim of black so tried to flog it got no real
    interest so stripped the movement and built a pw . so got a spare dial and case might try the 1967 movement in it and just flip it low needing a service

    yes if I'm getting this right the 1950 one had blue hands
    the 1967 had blue hands but had a silver ring centre
    the ch4 hand black (flipping it on bay just not getting anywhere with it )
    and the other had a 70's 3602 which I pulled to use elsewhere (the case back being nickel sent your wrist black
