The movement & dial were an eBay find. The back of the movement had a layer of corrosion that was THICK! About 3mm. No idea what it had been sitting in but it was like hard, stale butterscotch candy. After a lot of cleaning, all it needed was a replacement of the escape wheel and jewel cap for the balance. It runs strong, accurate and for about 50 hours on a full wind.
Tiffany blue strap special order from Dr. Phil. 47mm case from eBay (still needs reshaping) and 8k gold crown found in a box of old bits.
I love these old Movado movements.
