The watch is clean, has nickel bridges with “Shadow Line” damaskeening and steel screws. The movement has good blued hands but no sub second hand. The movement has a gilt center wheel, gilt train, and a steel escape wheel. The watch movement has a good balance staff, wheel and hairspring. The balance wheel swings freely with good motion. The balance has a tempered blued steel hairspring with the “Breguet” overcoil. The watch winds, sets and ticks with brisk motion.

This is the quality of movement you should be looking for.
