Would like some information on this case as I think it is not correct for this movement.The watch is a Hamilton 996 and I believe the date for the movement is 1916.

This is a 1916 996 that sold on eBay recently.

It has the proper hands and style of case for that era.

Given that the case your watch is in is probably 20+ years newer than the watch, it makes sense as a replacement case for a worn out 20yr. case.

Movement and dial are both very nice.

Here are the proper dial signatures with approximate dates.

Thanks for your kind words,I will try and rectify the case and hands.I was looking at that one you posted to me and just missed out on it.
