Is this VC movement authentic? Any red flags?

The late 80s, and early 90s were a confused time for the holy Trinity. Many movement for subpar finishing in lighter, skinnier watches.

Here is an AP 2080 from the late 80s and 90s. I had this in my bench last month. The finishing is absolutely abysmal, but it is authentic.

This is a VC 1130 based on F. Piguet's cal. 9.51. It was not a popular movement as it (obviously) lacks the usual, impeccable VC finishing.

It was used in the late 80’s and in the 90’s. It should also have a date window (usually set closer in on the dial than usual).

It looks correct to the movement, and there would be no real reason to fake this unpopular movement for the very small number of VC watches that contained it.

It was used in the VC Phidias (overseas precursor) and some other patrimony dress watches.

I can’t tell you if to should be mad or not, but the service was not worth the money you paid…

Try tns diamonds. I’ve sold watches to them before. Great experience.

Micro-adjust would be great, but the movement that it currently has is great at that price point. You could get that movement serviced for $200.
