Stem & Crown missing
Hello members, would appreciate help if possible, I have a case without a winding stem or crown,
I have some spare stems and crowns which I bought with a job lot, I now have a movement which will fit the case, Problem is it possible to put a stem and crown in the case and if so the best way to do it, photos of case Thanks in anticipation Les

Hi Leslie,

It appears you may have a 10K Dueber case on your hands Eek

The stems come in different lengths to fit different movement set-ups and it appears from what I am seeing that it is threaded inside the pendant to accept a sleeve which are mainly there to adjust the stem up and down correctly to operate the appropriate movement.. It would also seem the case requires the "onion style" crown that is appropriate from that era. That has to be a trial and error with the different crowns to fit down correctly over the pendant.
Hope that is what you were asking about Confused

regards,
bb
