My thrift store find is finally together. The new cristal revealed a very faint but beautiful sunburst dial in pristine condition. It's only 31 mm in diameter which is very small to me but, with that dial who cares.
The 058b12 pinpallet movement was first used in the 60s ( could be younger though). Unfortunately it only has roughly 180° of amplitude and it's 2 - 5 minutes late per day and but I love it nonetheless.
Have a wonderful Saturday.

Thank you Rich. Hope I can clean up the movement at some point and increase it's lifespan a little.
Looks fantastic Peter, what a great piece of German craftmanship!
It looks very beautiful Peter! You’ve done an amazing job. I love the strap choice too! Who cares about accuracy. This is a timepiece that can tell life stories from the past and it is all yours! Cherish it and enjoy it my friend! Have a wonderful weekend 🙏
That looks fantastic, Peter. What a great find, and all credit to you for giving it a new lease of life.
I'm positive 24 is the year we all go small. 🤓

Danilo, I sorry, for not mentioning it before. I wanted to thank you too for your advice to skip the servicing of the movement. You were right. The accuracy is trivial to think gen. 🙏
