hi there Omegoids, There's a square dial 381 50's cosmic movement for sale. Info is scarce. it's definitely seen better days. finding an original case would be next to impossible. But would you as a collector and watch enthusiast: a) Buy it for what you considered a reasonable amount, and tuck it away somewhere warm and snuggly for a future flip..or simply to pull out from time to time and whisper "my precious". b) Buy it and shift heaven and earth to find a whole bunch of odds and sods to restore it to its former glory,..time and money being no object of course. or c) Smile wistfully, think to yourself "what if", and scroll on to the next object of your affection? Answers on a postcard to:
If you can consider it as a "parts" movement and pay accordingly, then I would go for it. Trying to have it restored, would probably take more time and money then buying a complete working example. My 2c.
