P/N needed for crown 2185 Traveller II movement

Submitted by John from PA on

I have a Traveller II (2185 movement) that I purchased new back in the mid-1970's.  The watch is in excellent condition and I still use the watch when doing business travel due to the ease in setting the watch when jumping time zones.  As luck would have it I lost the "upper" crown, the one to change the hour.  The stub of the stem, which sticks out about 1/16 inch has no threads on the outside and I can't feel anything on the bore of the stem, using a small pin to feel inside.  I can get a new stem if needed but does anyone have any information on what the part number would be for the crown?

Thanks much.

 Do you have a photo of the watch?

You can see an identical watch on eBay, specifically at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290554013915&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT.  The person is asking $1595 but the watch is new old stock.  These watches, specifically the Traveller II were relatively rare.  There was a very similar watch, the Astronaut II that had the same 2185 movement.  It was more plentiful, but again somewaht rare.
