Scruffy thing but I couldn't resist this.

Cal 290 and signed as such which might make it easier to find a loose dial if I see something I like.

Probably yes - if you go through this thread there are several quite similar examples with such a case back. That’s too much coincidence to me.
Also the details of the back “bezel” seem to be made for plexi from the start.

(I am quite curious if there is a serial and ref. number somewhere on the case)
