Hey, those cases are pretty rare and a good start for a nice 6152-1 as they have a lot of meat for reshape.
They all accept eta/asian 6497/8 movements at least and others if you have the tools to make the appropriate movement ring to fit your case.
You have a lot of awesome dialmakers here on HF (@Belkin12 and other great guys) and nearly everything you need to make youself an exiting and custom daily beater with the excellent pam127 case.
Cheers and show us this sleeping beauty ASAF

I like the slim Esdee best, and of course the Oyang. I have one of each.
