Little appreciation thread

This was the warch I received recently a Roamer, not all original but the movement is. Took the case back off tonight because it came with a loose minute hand and I was looking at the movement looking for the crown stem screw. Is the one circled the correct one? Also I really don't see anywhere to regulate it. Am I missing it? I do appreciate hoe nice this vintage movement looks

That looks correct to me, but I am an idiot. Let's see what other people say.

The detent screw which you have pointed out holds the detent in place which holds the stem and crown. To remove the stem, slowly unscrew the detent screw while pulling on the crown. You don't want to unscrew it all the way if possible or the screw may become unaligned with the detent and you will need to remove the dial to put it back.

I’m not entirely sure which MST movement that is… looks like a Standard 96/97 (so FHF), and the logo isn’t age appropriate.

The color around the screw is rust from a leaking crown seal.

It's the 430 calibre

It’s not the MST 430, and your Roamer doesn’t have a date complication.
