I dont know enough about those V movements, but I think they should have one hole. Not two. Do they?

My movement:
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=10762&private=0

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=10762&private=0

So, the “A” slot doesnt seem that refined (or it is worn). I think that is an alteration? B is emptied (but logical because it is stem set/wound).

American/negative set/splitstem?
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=10763&private=0

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=10763&private=0

Swiss/positive set/stem?
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=10764&private=0

The V5 seems rare… luckily it is running ok. Are parts interchangeable with the V4?

I like the weird dial. Is it a swiss case made by gruen?
