This movement just doesn't want to be photographed. Older picture not much better:

Yeah, they look cool and clean. This one is not running though. To let a 7 jewel movement serviced by a watchmaker just seems a shame.

The nurse duo dial is the one I like even more. The prices not. I do have one but it looks like it had a really loved life.

Sure that the caliber is a 159?
Case back indicates 835SS which it might be. At least it is a "SS" caliber, 835 should be 15 jewels though.
159 is the style number.

no, not sure. Hope that anyone on the forum can shine a light on this.

I think that the caliber is 159 because that is what I can read on the movement besides the balance wheel. Not a clear view though. I will try to get a better picture.

159 is a narrower baguette movement, this to me looks like a 7 jewel version of the 835BSS. They did not mark the SS so it should be marked 835B.
