Greetings everyone, new to the forum! Thought this would be the place to ask about a British clock..

So, I bought a big (34cm diameter) Smiths wall clock online, presumably from the early 70's - and upon opening the box, it looks to me like the movement is not original.

I am now unsure whether I should ask for the money back. It was advertised simply as a 70's Smiths wall clock.

It is a bit of a disappointment since I thought I was buying the original thing - although to be fair, I -was- feeling a little sketchy as to how well the original movement would work and keep time after all these years. I was not into the idea of it possibly needing expensive servicing (the clock is meant to be used) so I guess I could try to look on the bright side here..

The clock (pictured below) now uses just a regular quartz movement if I'm not mistaken?
