In Response To: Re: A couple of details .. ()

Sorry guys, just posted a blank message, still getting used to this forum! I can post a photo of the back off and the details on the movement are fairly clear but just looks like any other 283 movement. The engravings on the back of the case inside are almost impossible to read with a magnifier and wouldn't photograph. I've noticed a couple of other things you guys may be able to help with. The watch is keeping accurate time, but the crown seems to undo itself to the point of falling off as the watch runs down? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Also, pulling the crown out and rolling the crown forward in the normal way to set the hands, actually moves the hands anticlockwise (backwards)? Doesn't look good for the watch either as it seems to stall the seconds hand.
