Movement, recently serviced and running very sweetly!
A curious 'mod' on this watch is a brass bushing on the escape wheel! It appears too 'factory fit' to have been a later repair .... unless the watchmaker that fitted it was a real demon. The lip that is usually 'rolled' over a typical jewel is too thin to roll back and then re-swage on a replacement without visible damage of some sort, but this bush is held by a rim as perfect as any holding the jewels!

Good for you Clive. These are great watches and worth getting them running. I have three.The one pictured here and another non runner that needs TLC. I also have a single pusher that I'll put up ASAP.

Rec'd this wyler incaflex in the mail today. been ticking away and keeping good time for the last few hours. dial looks good with the original radium #'s and dauphine hands. plated case in good condition. a neat little watch (31.30mm!)
