There are finishing differences between the movements as well. Take a look. The later one is nicer all around. It's even more obvious on the setting parts. Maybe I'll take some photos of those too.

Some of the countersinks for the holes are particularly crude on the early example. But most of them are great! Everything is much nicer on the late example.
