I can't see any dial feet, is it stuck on? -
Not sure what you mean by 318? What number is on the plate by the battery? Did you have any hands fitted with the new battery to see any signs of life. Without any test equipment you'll probably end up e to replaceing the complete movement. -
Thank you for the valuable replies! What I am understanding is that what moves the cannon pinion is that wheel attached to the lid of the barrel wheel (last 3 pictures). It feels like a tight connection, though it can be moved by the crown action when adjusting the time. Otherwise, I think it is just fixed to whatever the rotation of the barrel wheel is... I thought that was the problem, since it may be too slow, but maybe its normal? Thank you for your reply! I must admit I am not familiar with the term 'stick-slip.' From google AI: In watch repair, "stick-slip" refers to a jerky, intermittent motion where the movement parts momentarily "stick" and then abruptly "slip". This is often caused by dry, uneven lubrication, friction, or wear within the watch's intricate mechanisms. The wheel attached to the bottom of the barrel is fairly tight, and I thought I made a mistake separating it from the barrel wheel lid... I actually bought a new one (and a new mainspring) and did not separate it so if it needs oiling, I did not add any. The seconds hand moves fine when the watch is wound, but it is directly engaged with the gear-train (it is actually keeping really good time according to timegrapher). I did not tighten the cannon pinion (I don't think I am at that level of confidence to try). I will check if the wheel that is attached to the barrel wheel lid moves at all as you suggested. Appreciate the explanation and advise! I tried this before, but with the dial in place and nothing but the seconds hand moved. I will test this again without the dial by putting some wind and attaching the minute hand to see if it moves. -

👍 Directly driven from the barrel, so the friction wlll be there. If there is a problem might be that centre insert in that drive wheel.
