I am in chapter 94 and 5  in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am on a quest looking for a replacement movement for one I misplaced or lost during a move. I am attaching a picture of  the case and the specifications. I would appreciate it if you pass it around to your chapter members and have them contact me directly if they have  a movement  they are willing to part with.

Regards,
