    Some of them it would be a pity to strip. On the bottom row I like the second one from the right. ... Nice looking dial.

    I agree. I have a several 23z, 22l, 10l, 370, 8ln, and a random 23m that I keep around in case my watchmaker is having trouble finding parts, or the parts are too expensive. Usually buy movements without cases if priced right, but occasionally will pick up a whole watch on ebay if it gets overlooked and I can get it cheap.
