I'd like to find a decent movement & dial for this case on Ebay but need to know exactly what to buy. I've determined from the back cover shape that it needs an 8/0 sized movement, would that be a Grade 730 or a 735? I can't seem to match this case up with any of the named cases in the Shugart book. Does anyone know what the name of this case is and it's approximate age? The dimensions are 26mmx27mm without the lugs and 26x35 with the lugs. Harold | ||

That looks like a "Forbes" model. The last one I had contained a 17 jewel adjusted grade 747 movement, although depending on when it was made, it could have also come with a grade 730 movement. The grade 730 is virtually the same as the 747, except that it has shockproofing. Both of these movements shouldn't be too hard too find. | |||
