Yes, 6497 from pocket watch, short second hand pinion, accuracy is great.. I love ut 97/98 this is very reliable movement, and service from him is easier and cheap..

I think is 285/497 little different dimensions compare with 6497? Beautiful thinks is micro screw on balance wheel.. Long time ago I had one doxa pocket with 497, but signed doxa.. Balance was broken and my watchmaker that use balance ut497 for replace..
