·I purchased a carrera with what I understood to be the automatic winding mechanism missing. The watch ran as a manual wind, but the automatic movement did not work. You could hear what I assume to be the rotor whacking around inside when moving your wrist.
When dropping the watch off for service, I provided a diagram of a calibre 15 with a list of parts & Part numbers with eBay listings that I could identify as missing as a starting point.
4 weeks later I received a call from the watchmaker’s office saying that there actually aren’t parts missing, that there are different versions of this movement and the diagram I provided differed from mine. They are still “looking into it” but all that’s clear right now is a mainspring is needed.
I feel like this is painfully obvious though? Below is a picture of my movement provided by the seller, followed by a typical calibre 15. The micro rotor is straight up connected to nothing on mine. I’m confused how this can be attributed to it being a different version of the movement. Just trying to get a sanity check here- I responded with these pictures asking for them to clarify with the watchmaker.

Any experts on this movement?
