From the "which watch have you got coming" thread, this is a watch I bought off eBay from Japan. There were no pictures of the movement, so it was a bit of a gamble.

Initial timegrapher reading looks decent, other than the low amplitude.

The case was difficult to separate, but I got it apart. The dial shows a bit of wear, but I think it'll clean up pretty well. Super interesting that instead of a split stem, you get access to the setting lever release through the dial. I like that.

It seems like it hacks when it's out of the case. I didn't take it apart yet, but I'm super interested to see how that works.

Then I noticed something that looks suspiciously like super glue.

And sure enough, I discovered one of the springs that holds the case halves together is missing and was glued together. That explains why I didn't get any movement photos!
