This movement was still regarded highly enough nearly eighty years after it was originally made to have a new case and dial made for it, in gold! Although not as expensive as a new repeating watch this would still have been a costly exercise but for some reason it was not thought wise to pierce the outer case. Despite its mixed pedigree a fine and desirable watch.
