: What's throwing me off is the extra parts in the pic I provided
: that are approx. in the 12 o'clock position as shown in the pic
: (wish I was more watch literate to say what they are or do). In
: fact the movement to me looks identical to a 7736. It may be a
: late 7733 that was then turned into 7736.

Looks to me like a first series 7733, like this one fitted to a Croton:

The 7733 and 7734 shown on OTD are from the later series (2 and 3), which are simplified in that area - the 7736 happens to be from series 1, just like the 7733 in your watch. It's not the case that all 7736s look like the one on OTD - a series 2 or 3 7736 would look like the 7733 and 7734 pictured.

So you still have nothing to worry about :)
