Hello all,
I've been following the discussions here for quite a while and I have to say, I'm enjoying it immensely. I am grateful for the wealth of knowledge shared by so many of you.

With that said, I came across a complete Cal. 12 movement, which appears to be missing a chrono seconds hand . . . oh, and the whole case. Rather than relegate the movement to a parts bin, I'd like to see what I can do to restore it to its former glory. I don't want to make it into some sort of random parts watch, but instead I'd like to make it as true to its origin as I can. After reading the Comparison of Two Viceroys, I imagine there's no way to tell, by the movement and dial alone, whether it once lived in a 1163 V or 11630 case. Is this a correct assumption?

If you were in my position, what would be your approach? Thanks for any and all advice.

Cheers.
J
