Something is not right there..

In Response To: Re: more on movements *LINK* ()

The 564 IS a Chronometer movement.

The 565 is NOT.

The auction shows a chronometer watch ( or at least the dial is marked so ), with a movement that is marked as a 565, but still has the markings for a chronometer movement. ("adjusted to 5 positions.... blah blah blah ")

So there are a number of possibilities here.

1, it is NOT a Chronometer watch at all ( I have no idea if some pie pans were not chronometers ).

2, the movement part marked 565 is not original to the movement.

3, the movement part marked "adjusted to..." is not original to the movement.

4, the entire movement is not original to the watch.

5, a mixture of the above options.

I'd stay away from this one.

here are a couple of links to some Info on the movements. ( click on the pics )

565 Movement

564 Movement

I hope this helps
