··Oooo subtitles!The dust cover on a Moonwatch doesn't just keep out dust, it actually keeps the movement located since there are no case clamps, the movement, which is surprisingly small at 27mm dia, sits in a holder ring which is held in place by the pressure from the dust cover. The dimple/nipple on the 'dust cover' presses on the middle of the caseback. Or so is my understanding.
Get a dust cover, any will do, even a modern service part is better than none.

··Oooo subtitles!My understanding is that there is one, but a service replacement. "...only non original parts are dust cover..."

·Thanks for the input and link to the covers for sale. Yes it does have a service replacement fitted so all good in that sense, I think I will stop obsessing over it for now and just get the watch back from Simon. This is my first vintage watch but I collect various other things, furniture, photography etc, and always strive to find originality, I can’t help it!
I would definitely like to improve the DON bezel but I think this can wait until another time.

·Good evening,
Another plea for information! I have read a few other threads regarding boxes and I’m aware it won’t add any real value but I am trying to find correct period box for my watch. It seems that many different boxes are potentially right depending on country of delivery and sale etc. Does this one fit the bill for my Ed White?
thanks in advance.

that being said, the box in the ebay listing is the type of box I saw most often in combination with Speedies from the 60s, so I‘m pretty sure some Ed Whites were sold in combination with this kind of box. Hope I could help you out a little!

He also sourced a top top quality DON bezel which we placed over the watch to look at, it looked amazing but I couldn’t stretch to the asking price for it. I would still love to fit an improved bezel so don’t be shy message me if you have one available.

·I’ll be looking for a nice daily wearer soon, this watch is too nice to use as a beater so it’s going to have to go. I don’t believe in hiding items away in a safe! If anyone has a modern speedy they are selling please message me
Thanks
Cal.
