It's not the higher-end "guild" movement. It's a standard 17 jewel unadjusted precision movement.

I've never seen another face like this. Do you think this was originally a "quadron"?

Thanks again for all your advice.

I just found the number...it's the "119" movement.

Off the top of my head, that's a conventional movement.
