So I managed to open the mystery box.
Seems like someone had a Bentima Star - probably it was gold cased and they melted that down - then kept the rest.
Quite an interesting rally style strap I might be able to revive. Then there is the movement with some nice details, the dial and crystal. Not worth a kings ransom but what does £5 buy you!
