Greetings everyone, I have recently acquired this old thing. And now I'm having doubts. Is this an original, an early age dial or is this someones improv? Thank you in advance

I'm just about to clean the parts of a Cal 684 which has a similar Winding Gear (#1464). I plan to clean it in my usual way (ultrasonic with Elma solutions) then dip in Lubeta V105. As for Epilame. The only parts I'll be treating are cap/pallet jewels and escapement wheel. I'm not splashing my precious fluids all over the place !

Yes it sounds as if the gut has fouled up. If the clock is not level that can cause the gut not to wind onto the barrel . You need to take it out of its case and post some photos. The type of key for these clocks are crank keys.

This guy unites the two reverse wheels in the usual system of winding movement. Do not take it apart, thow takin it apart is possible. You can get lost the small ratchets inside. I wouod use pure petrol to clean it ahd will rotate for some time the wheels when holding the pinion untill the guy is diped in the petrol. Then, after epilaming (if any aplied), I would use some Moebius 8000 solved in pure petrol and put a drop on the wheel, then will blow with air and let the petrol dry. This is old recepy not from Omega manuals where I have no idea what is the procedure.
