Fabrizio I think you need a Regulator Goose Neck , regulator adjustment screw and s2 attachment screws. I show picture of those parts and suggest you ask Mr. Brian Cavenaugh for all these parts at;

Fabrizio, The Columbus watch Co was formed by Mr. Dietrich Gruen before he opened the Gruen Watch Co. The NEW Columbus Co. was re-started after Mr. Gruen left, and was sold in a few years to the Studebaker family, owners of the South Bend Watch Co.

As for value, with that glass dial, yes you have a watch that when running is worth much more than you paid.
