Servicing an Original 60s Butex Manual Alarm - AS 1568 Manual Alarm Movement

Here we have a very nice vintage Butex manual alarm watch powered by the lengendary AS 1568 movement in excellent condition. Highly collectible and desirable as this is almost the best of mechanical watchmaking in the 60s and 70s.

Below is the result of the service.
