Condition report
This movement has been tinkered with quite extensively - the vendor very proudly announced that it worked although when you take a close look at it you are amazed at how! The handles are attached to the dial by way of a bent pin. The dial has been scrubbed to the point of being very discoloured and there are padlocks and paperclips on the mechanism in order to help it!
