It's from a 1" diameter pocket watch the dial of which says "West End Watch Co."; "Queen Anne"; "Bombay Calcutta". A local Charity shop has asked me to put it into saleable condition.... -

Quite often in such cases when a screw back gives problems one way out is to superglue on a large nut and use a wrench, then dissolve off the superglue with acetone . Usually removes the tightest backs. -

Sorry i didn't report back on the replacement i received after returning the dodgy one, like yours it's good with no excessive play in the thimble, it as the reference lines, the stumps and pushes look in good condtion and fit snuggly, i got a good un this time. This good tool as the brass pin on the side below the grub screw, the dodgy one i got had two grub screws, in reality it's pot luck when ordering from ali. Ali's return and refund went smootherly, they provided a prepaid tracked return label to a local warehouse in the UK, the refund was issued the next day after posting even before they'd received it, all good in the end. -
There are many good quality movements+dials/hands for sale on ebay. When watches weren't worth as much, people sold the gold cases. Finding replacement cases is very difficult - I've been searching for years. New ones are very rare (did manufacturers every sell complete new cases?) so the only choice is to look for a donor watch, which for something like an IWC isn't going to be cheap. Good luck
