Took my 6205 in for service today. My watchmaker opened the case back for me. Picture of the A260:

Caseback:

The watch wound and ran for 30+ hours, but the rotor didn't seem to be keeping the watch perpetual...

I'm also having him install a better crown where the + has not been nesrly polished off.

It's on his winder to see if it stops again. He said it was running strong albeit gaining a minute a day.

My dial was refinished by a child or animal after the previous owner couldn't live with the radium burn and wanted a freshened watch.

I have a very pretty refinished dial that will be going in with the service.

With the original dial in hand, I will source someone properly refinish it. That is, unless, you or someone else has a nice dial to donate.

Right after purchasing this watch, I missed an original dial. It looked like hell.... but was original.

Update -

The following friction spring that is part of the automatic was broken.

I need a 635/645 friction spring Rolex part 5607.

Plenty of direct fit after market available. Found a new one o a popular auction site, buy waiting to hear back from the seller.
