Case Details When opening the watch for the first time I noted the movement and a sort of ribbed packing ring running around the movement. May be a ring to set a smaller movement in a larger case ? Has anyone seen this before ? Moreover the knob is loose and can be taken out of the movement. One pushes and turns to wind the watch and one leaves it out to set the the time. The inside of the item through which the knob passes has a screw groove, what for? To retain the knob, many questions.
