In testing now. Not as good an outcome as I usually achieve, but good enough for now. 
 

Felsa 690 came in a Pesag branded dial/case—looks like a late 1950s/early 1960s vintage.

Movement had several issues—broken mainspring, broken pallet fork pivot, fouled hairspring.

Was able to source the mainspring and pallet fork on eBay. Spent 2 days working the hairspring back to a point that the watch runs with good amplitude, but still has significant positional timing issues in dial right position. 
 

Since this is a project watch that I intend to re-sell on eBay as-is, I’m going to call it a day. I could invest further in a balance complete but simply don’t think this piece is worth any further investment since it keeps time within 30-60 secs per day depending on position.
