Note: The example image appears reversed from my
movement. On mine (with the balance at the bottom)
the cock and winding arbor are on the right side
of the movement. Also the case screw is just to
the left of the center top plate screw (3 position
on the dial side) with the case alignment pin
directly opposite it below the cock (10 position
on the dial side).
