I’d be v, interested to see this movement, if it's genuinely NOS I think I could tell, I could also tell if it’s a worn movement that’s been swapped.
The watch his a nice one and the condition of the case is excellent, it should be straightforward to sort the movement out, a loose cannon pinion is a straightforward fix.
