Thank you for the measurements, , from the case number , I guess it is from the late 40s .I am not really looking for a crown with a b on it . Especially so if it is not age appropriate , just one that will fit properly without compromising , or altering the case, . I also could use a contact number for a trusted watchmaker. One working in the Washington D.C. area even better ,I know I`m asking a lot .
I’m sorry you are having trouble with what should be the simplest of tasks. I would have thought that an internet search of “vintage watchmaker” should find something at least in your own state. In my experience, these types of people have container full of hundreds of crowns they’ve collected over the years and will have one that fits.
The crown on mine sits proud of the case tube, and so even the issue of the crown fitting over the tube isn’t an issue.
