Well to be fair - a NOS quartz movement of that age could well be defect and no visible way of knowing visually. That said, the corrosion visible in those photos suggests that the movements have had batteries mounted at some point that have leaked.

I've had a couple of nos movements of this type and these aren't nos. He's just trying to sell junk he's pulled out of non working watches.

Corrosion on battery pins, and clearly touched up soldering connections . In an optimistic angle, it has been "repaired" , maybe 1 " good" from 2 faulty . Right place for that is in the bin.

Roff, he knows, that these two movements were tested (from me) but he sells them again as NOS and "not tested". This is fraudulent!

If he is reselling returned pieces that have been proven false then I agree completely.
