Great amplitude, but jewels are all dry and there is random specs of dirt lying around in the movement.

Hard to see in the photo, but the compound has had some oil on it and it’s disintegrating. The compound on the hands is also falling apart.

Another great post showing the range of skills you possess. Out of interest, with chronographs where there is some additional dial side furniture on the movement, how do you ensure that the hour wheel doesn’t pop up and move round? Ordinarily the hour wheel and dial are pretty flush but here there is a large gap. Larger than I’d imagine a dial washer could cope with?
Thanks for the nice compliment Andrew:) The hour wheel has a step that dial washer rests on.
