Molnija stripdown...this movement was soooooo dirty/gummed up...look at the gubbins on the plates and generally everywhere else. I doubt this has ever been serviced, I really do...

Thanks for this Scone; useful in seeing the similarities/differences in breaking down different handwind movements.

Nice one!
