Agreed. But if I can acquire it for zero then I’m probably quids-in after a full service and repair. It looks badly treated, is an unclaimed watch from 18 months ago still in the safe.
Trying to understand why it will run when held one way, but not the other. I’m guessing something with the balance must be obstructing the movement of it when rotated in any other angle but dial-up. When held up, and chrono pusher pressed, I can coax it with a blow of the rocket blower and the seconds tick round fine. So the mainspring is sound, and pinion and everything flicker back and forth. Just literally won’t tick over as usual.
May be a long time til I can get the manager to cave in, though.

That won't be inexpensive to sort out properly.
