·Hi mate.
Oof, figuring out where this came from is an impossible task... Many references used that movement. The dial has been repainted at some point, so no help here 🙁

·Hi Kevin and welcome to the forum!
The OXG stamped on the movement is the U.S. import code for the Norman Morris company. It very well was imported just as a movement and cased in the U.S. and could have been most anything.
While attractive, it is of little monetary value and I would use it for parts unless you have a strong attachment to the watch.
Restoring is impossible but you may find a donor watch with a bad dial or movement to build your "franken". The best way to be sure it will fit is to find a case already housing this movement.
Good luck!

Thats pretty much what I thought. I thought the dial had been repainted which is fine. I'm starting to learn to repair movements so I got this for next to nothing, primarily bought it for parts. It will be a fun little project either way and will hopefully end up being a pretty nice looking watch when I'm done with it. Thanks for the info.
