6498 style, seconds at six o'clock

Left one is an early 6497 no shock protection. I would pay around $80 to 90 max.
The right looks like size 16 or even 18 movement. Look at the size of the gap where the dial plate holders are. This movement cannot be used for our cases without modifying them.

Couldn't help myself (again) and got these two from ebay lately.The one on the right keeps perfect time (within 30 seconds) for the whole 8+ days,but the one on the left,despite looking like NOS,and despite the sellers's description "working perfectly",is gaining couple of hours a day.(Thinking of sending it back.)

PM me with an offer for the one on the left.

Gaining is most likely magnetism or a hairspring with greasy issues.

My thoughts exactly. Or more complicated issue - a short hairspring.
