Hello everyone, first time posting here, would really appreciate some help identifying the crown that I need for my latest acquisition.
(Got no replies at watchuseek, luckily found this forum hope you guys are a bit more interested in this little beauty)
If someone can please let me know what to search for, hopefully I can track one down.
I'll post some pictures of my two accutrons as a tempter!
Thanks
Wayne

If you are looking for a part number I'm no help. I have had a couple of watches that needed crowns and the repairmen I use had no problem finding them. There are a lot of crowns on Ebay.

Thanks Skypilot, For sure lots of crowns on ebay but trying to find which one!
Not many watch repairmen for this old girl here in sleepy town, so I was hoping somebody was familiar with her.
Thanks for your interest.

Also try asking on the www.mybulova.com forum under the parts section.
They are very helpful.
Someone managed to find me a replacement crystal in about 24 hrs. Myself having been searching for years.

Thanks for the headsup magnetchief, I shall seek the knowledge of my crown quest at mybulova!

Aw c'mon Samanth, you've gotta tell us where that came from . :confused1:

It came from the Bulova Case Parts Book. The case is a 777-1. :001_smile:

Hello Samantha, thank you so much for your wisdom, you have made my day.
I will post again once I track one down.
I just got my login approved at mybulova and then found this reply, what a gem forums such as these are.

Does that part number include the stem as well as the crown for the case?

 

[oliverb]

From the pic, it looks like the stem is still in place. Hopefully the threads are ok.

RalphDjr,
No, that part number is for the crown only. The stem is P/N 16A 11ANAC.
