Other info :
I finished one more of my projects, which started life as a NOS dial and 420SS movement that I bought of eBay two years ago. At that time the dial was id'ed by a fellow Gruenite on the old forum and he posted a picture (I forgot who, but if it is one of you guys apologies for using your picture  ). This picture is what drove my 2 year quest for the right case...
...and this is the final result. A perfect match with the watch above, but next to "Strap 610" in Shawkey's identification book there is one little difference, the 610 doesn't have Italic digits. So were there two different dial versions of the Strap 610?
The only model I found with the same dial is this one, which I have not been able to identify. I may have gone for the wrong case at the end
