When I bought these watches they were all beat up some weren’t even running. I learned a lot restoring them to the best of my ability, this is after 6 months of hunting.
Working on getting this 6309 running and i’ve noticed that the escape wheel slips with pallet fork releasing all of the power into the drivetrain. have you guys experience this before? and what can i do here? actually start taking apart the movement and see if the escape wheel is seated properly between the jewels?
6309 movement got this today for 20$
Tried to match this catalogue image i found of this Favre-Leuba Centurion daydate
