AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Silver pocket watch with hallmark

Rare collector's item

White enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numeral hour markers, small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock
Openwork hands, damage at 8 o'clock
Case numbered 8511
Diameter: 50 mm
Gross weight: 72 grams

The movement is functional; it's the crown that's stuck, it won't turn and keeps coming loose. It stays on the watch but can be pulled off.

The mechanism works, the balance wheel engages, and the bottom second hand moves but stops after a few minutes. You have to shake the watch a little to get it working again; I have video evidence upon request.
But I think the crown that drives the mechanism needs servicing.

To change the time, you have to press the small button and turn the crown; that works.

Fast and careful shipping via DHL
