A new style of case. A missing piece of the puzzle, but which piece?

Oh and it hurts my eyes to see that messed up hairspring.

Unknown, still looking. It looks to me like the raised "wire" on the horizontals is white on a yellow bezel?

Yeah... I found the first one of these a few months back.  We have it as unknown.  It's a yellow gold case with white gold accents.
