Tomas... yes the minute hand is not a Gruen style. Finding one shouldn't be too hard.

The 411c vs the regular 411.... As Barney points out the top plate is more curved on the 411c then the other. Small enough difference that the pinion on the main wheel is a bit different between the two. I have found that the 'c' versions of the movement are in more dress-style watches.


All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
