What a nice looking Jump hour this is.  I found a listing on eBay which had two the same claiming both were not running so for spares & repairs.  I won the auction and was the only bidder!   when they turned up I was astounded because they are complete new old stock.   Both without any wear only some scuffs on the acrylic crystal which was easy to buff out with Polywatch.   I wound both but only one worked. The other I opened the back and dropped some oil onto the pivots.  Still nothing.  However they are 1 jewel pin pallets and I tried my usual trick which is to oil the pallet and escape. Within seconds it started back up again and has not stopped since.   One  I will sell (SOLD) and the other I will keep.  I will make profit too which is a bonus meaning my watch is for free!
