  • We take a look at this unusual $20 dollar vintage watch. As it turns out it's a rather nice movement. Can we restore it to its former glory and should you buy a $20 dollar watch? I'm going to try and find out.
    I'll do a full disassembly and reassembly of the movement so we can really have a look at exactly what your money buys you. There are some very unusual parts to this movement. It features an indirectly driven minute and second to allow a relatively big balance (similar to the Zenith Cal. 135).
