An update on my Howard. Since I could not get my miscreant son to do pictures (he is working on the road, he says) I pulled the movement and glassed the case. Buster is right! Kudos to Buster!!!!! My Howard has a repaired case with a replacement cuvette. I will say that it is a terrific repair and the give away is that under magnification I can see some off color solder on a hinge tube. I assume the cuvette was replaced from another Howard case and that explains the crescent-keystone frankencase. Thanks to all and mystery solved!

I have a Howard made by Waltham, and it has the same problem. Back cover and dust cover have different numbers. My watch is the 23J bridge movement w Waltham made for the Keystone Howard company. Does anyone have an idea what case this watch should be in, and where I might find one.
