I wrote with him yesterday, I ask him about the ampitude, how the movement is running, he replied me that is not a chronomter. I told him, that it have nothing to do with a chronometer, so he want to check it now, waiting for his answer since yesterday

as Kp0y I also see his account a little bit questionable. the pics really bad, and the 0 seller rating is a little disturbing and email contact very poor, 2 emails, 9 words
Have you asked for some additional photoa, perhaps?

The alarm movement is weird, obviously an alarm clock when you look at the movement side, but there is not a trace of alarm parts on the dial side. It must be built from parts....

The same mystery is with €600 non-alarm: incabloc on the balance cock, but no inca on the dial side. Afaik balance stuffs differ for inca and non-inca units.

The non alarm looks weird to me too. Balance bridge seems to have a different finish than other bridges. And what about the train bridge engravings position, doesn't seem standard Angelus. Or am I wrong?

Obviously it's a franken and the best place for it is a parts drawer. Moreover, its functionality is highly doubtful.

I agree, really odd looking parts.

The bridge looks as if it has been sanded and plated again.
