Nacar watch movement

[Ammar]

Hello,

I got this watch to play with it for like 2 dollars, it's in a really terrible shape but it's ok I got it to practice on new movements, the thing is I couldn't find much information online about this particular movement it just says Swiss made 17 jewels no number nothing.

the movement isn't running at the moment but the weird thing is it runs for a couple of seconds when I pull the crown it looks in a decent condition though probably just needs to be srviced.

is there any thing that I can do for the terrible case? not that it's I want to restore it to it's original status but I just want the practice and knowledge.

I see this brand alot here I think is it Turkish? (it's pronounced Najar if it's actually Turkish)

That looks like an ST movement, and probably a 97-4. Do you know what the bph is?

Unfortunately I have no Idea what the bph is, is this TS movement any good? is it really swisss made?

Decent  swiss made...nothing  spectacular. Made towards the end of economical swiss  mechanical  watch production. As previously  mentioned  most  likely  made by ST or standard time.very commonly  found being sold by ebay vendors from India  .search st96 watch movement.

Should say ST 96-4 . Right under the balance wheel should be a number.  Decent movement. The case doesn't look to good but if you are new to working with watches the movement is easy to work on . Lots of parts are available.

Thank you guys I managed to get the movement ticking and it's running decent the keyless works part waant funn at all though because of the way the stem is secured in place.
