We start with re-assembly of all the important "precision" stuff . . .

Check to make sure the metal "Cap Jewel" is assemble on the bottom of the "top Plate". Note the Balance cock has a "real" cap Jewel, making this wonder of enginnering a THREE (3) Jewel Movment!!!! . . .

Then we make sure the "Top Plate with all metal pivots is cleaned . . .

Ready to assemble the "Precision (fake glass) "Jewelling" dress plate . . .

So the assembly "really looks like ? ? ?"

On goes the Balance wheeel, cock assembly and it runs "face down" only! Ready for "Steampunk" Junk pile! Not even botherig to add the Faux "Winding wheels. A "Real Great Naked Swiss Fake"!

hi David : I couldn't have given a clearer or better explanation of a SWISS FAKE if I tried, thanks,Tom

Very educational David, thanks for posting.

I took on a project which happened to be this Swiss fake. I was given two which seemed to be of the exact make. As both watches were non running and in bad shape stupid me thought that I will just make one good one from the parts. WRONG
Nothing lined up it seems that these watches are from different manufactures they are close but slightly different placements for the piviots, Balance bridge placement and even case screws, among all most every thing else. I am not talking about a great difference but a hairs breath. As I told the owner of these beauties you have the best looking non working swiss fakes ever made!I will just chalk it up to a learned experience.
