Movement

CriticalProbable

Watch the hour jump and the minute fly back

Set the watch to just before the hour and observe. A genuine jumping hour changes instantaneously; a disc that creeps round over several minutes is a conventional hour hand behind an aperture. Then watch the minute sector reach sixty: it should snap back to zero. Together these are a functional test of the complication, which is far stronger evidence than any inspection of the dial, and they cost nothing but a few minutes' patience.
