If he has to buy each part individually off of eBay, it will be hard, because he will be competing with lots of people looking to finish off or upgrade their own watches with one correct part.
I think you may be right. I'm not too concerned about the movement, those are pretty common. The dial is going to be a challenge though.

Might have to go with a *shudder* refinished dial until I can find the right one.
