Oh, 18 jewels in a 616!?

There is apparently only one cap jewel in the pallet arbor assembly, also the cap jewel in the balance cock looks something that has been made later.
I think the same for the cap jewel in the pallet arbor assembly. the cap jewel in the balance cock makes me worry

I think it will be hard to archive a original inca jewel that will fit

I think there’s no “original” cap jewels. You simply use the one that fits by size. A way more important is a brass basket where this jewel sits. It can be a real pita to find it if it’s broken or lost.

Also screws holding incabloc assembly are protruding too much, seems like it is fitted later...

Just a word of caution regarding this seller.I got a Nomolas Cort 616 pocket watch from him 5 months ago and the watch I got was not like the one on his ebay description / photos.The metal cap around the escape wheel pivot was missing and there were a few other details that made me 100% this was not the same watch.Of course,after I confronted the seller,he vehemently denied...

I hope that you opened a dispute? Did you leave negative?
No, I didn't.I was still satisfied with the movement,but I don't like dishonesty.I told the seller I am keeping the watch and that I just wished he would have told me prior to shipping that the movement in a pocket watch he was about to ship was a bit different movement.At least,I expected him to admit to an honest mistake we all make.

I was looking for something like that, without the movement, not priced as having the movement :)
