Again thank you I was able to source a nos one. My crystal had one nasty scratch in a spot it would have been hard to sand out without creating optical distortion.

My pleasure. 

You'll find the caseback gasket, which You will most likely need a little harder to find.  I found one at CAS-KER.

I found the last one someone had for $11. $41 all in for the crystal and gasket is quite nice. Only other crystal I saw was $100

Thankfully, I don't need something like a waffle crown...  What was this in originally, the octagonal box?

The Hexagonal box is more of a late 1960's - early 1970's design.  2c
