Hello, I was hoping for some help on this piece. I have an interest in purchasing it but it seems to be missing the winding stem and crown. How easy is it to replace these missing parts and what would it look like if it were there? I will attatch some pictures if able. Thank you all.

I HAVE A FEW OF THEM AND YOURS LOOKS LOVELY. TAKE THE WATCH OUT OF THE CASE BY SQUEEZING TOGETHER THE TWO PADDLES AT THE BOTTOM TO ENLARGE OR OPEN THE DISPLAY CASE DIAMETER ,REMOVE THE WATCH THEN YOU WILL SEE WHAT THERE IS ,OR IS NOT THERE Wink SOME WERE MADE ONLY FOR DISPLAYING MOVEMENTS , AND SOME WERE MADE TO HOLD WATCHES. THIS LOOKS AT FIRST GLANCE TO BE A WATCH CASE

well it's a movement case but of a different type than I have seen , very nice too. Eek Looks like it might be designed to wind the movement with a let down key as shown. There is one on eBay over in a few hours just the box and it's at $113 with 2 hours to go Wink

Ok Tom, Thank you. I am not sure I want to take the risk of purchase without the key. Thank you for all your assistance.
