I'm fairly certain the case is a franken as I don't see any other examples of it being used on the 790. But what about the dial? Where did it come from?

Any details on the source of the dial/movement/case would be helpful as this piece looks really nice. I don't mind a franken vintage watch, I just want to know what it is!

Thanks!

no, Dave didn’t look further after seeing the dial, I assume; watch is fake.

claims to be a ref. 790 - has no similarities to that model

Correct! if I can’t get past a redial, no need to look further. Luckily others here are more scholarly that me and have you the bigger picture.
