Watch Description

I put square as the case shape although technically the corners don't come to a point. The case is 14k. The crown is marked with a "B". What material is the crown/stem made of, gold, plated gold, or stainless? It has a Speidel band. What band would have originally been on the watch? I would like to replace the crystal. The original has a crack. Please tell me the model. I think with the model name I can order the correct crystal. Works and Keeps Time.

Thank you, Philip Ziller

Inside case, is that a ref number? 10/20/22

Welcome and thank you for sharing your watch with us. By the 1973 linebook, your watch is a

The band as seen in the ad would be "original equipment". I can't answer your question about the crown composition, perhaps one of the other panel members can answer that one.

Wonderful and quick info! I appreciate the help. I am ordering the new crystal and hope to receive and put it in by next week. I may look to see if I have a band that more closely matches the original, also.

Thank you,

Philip

1972 Golden Goddess "MD" is a good match. Thank you for sharing. As for the crown I am not 100% sure but believe they are supposed to be 14kt gold capped. The core is brass with a heavy cover of 14kt.
