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.

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.

I have never delt with them. Saw the 2185 and reminded me about what you need. Give it a try.
