It is a 10KT yellow gold RGP case with a RGP case back with an L7 date code.  The movement is a 11AC 17J movement with a L7 date code.  The dial has yellow gold applied even hour markers with dots for the odd hours.

Typically I'm tentative at best on watches ID'd with only a crystal packet. In this case I'm SKEPTICALLY tentative.

I would vote to keep them all together and go with...

We've kicked this around now for years and when I look at that crystal, and compare it with the case, it looks to be a perfect match.

As long as the packet ID is in any way accurate, but that's two unknowns right there.

Tentative 1957 Pelham.
