Yesterday I opened my fathers Benrus 3 star wrist watch. CD 1, 17j, Swiss, Selfwinding, Shock Absorbed, Bidynator. Marked #675, AXZ. Star Watch Case Co, #9728927 10K gold filled stainless back.

The crown is missing. Does anyone have any info on it? Not much on the web.

I wonder if it is worth repairing?

picture of the movement is always helpful.

I am having trouble posting pics. size over limit. I will keep trying. I do have pics on watchuseek, under vintage watches.

figured it out...

under the balance wheel should be some manufacturing marking, its not that hard to get new stem and crown for it.

can you see a broken stub of stem? if not good chance more parts in movement broken..
