It’s not DHgate. I know the seller I bought it from used a trusted TD.
Ok then you have almost all the information you need to make the assessment. Failing that, see if you can trace back your transaction and get the info you need from the original owner. Surely you’ve kept some correspondence and can reach out to him / her ??

Good luck with it.

Keep moving the watch around until the rotor moves away from the bridge so you can see what I referenced in my picture. The rotor will move in circles and you’ll be able to see the complete movement in different stages.

Based the CG shape and absence of the regulator screw, IMHO…it’s most likely a VSF
Did you see the latest pics? It has that piece inside you were showing me on your previous picture.

I was referring to the very little screw at the tip of that “arm”. You can see on yours that the little screw at the tip is missing. This is usually a good tell for a VSF movement. Add to that the Crown guard shape and the matching SN as I mentioned abound and I reckon it’s 90% a VSF watch.

How much could I fetch fit it once it’s all cleaned up?
Go to the For Sale section and search around. You’ll see plenty of VSF seamstress for Sale especially in the older FS SOLD threads. It will give you a guide. Generally speaking the silver dial you have is less popular that the blue / black or white dial variants.

how often do these have to get winded up ? Don’t they have a reserve where when you wind it, it feels like a click to tell you it doesn’t have to be winded up?
