Thanks for the reply. I don't have the stem. The measurement of the pendant is 3mm inside width. It has a thread inside it. Also 3mm depth.

Have seen bunch similar looking watches in local watchmakers bag. Chances of finding an original, genuine used crown exist. I presume gold plated.

Like simon says, pendent tube diameter, length of tube sticking out of the case and stem diameter and picture.

Movement caliber?
I don't mind if the crown isn't original. Would be nice if was an original. I would rather see if the watch works before looking for original parts. If I can source a crown and stem first and go from there. As I'm totally new to watches I was looking at stems thinking they were too long not realising that they can be cut to length. I will start by buying a box of mixed stems and find a crown to fit .

Thanks for the reply

You will need a crown with a short tube and large inner diameter to fit the case pipe, a negative set Waltham stem and perhaps a Dennison winding sleeve. I have these and many original Waltham parts in stock.

Here are some Waltham crowns, stems and sleeves. No Swiss stems will work because the stem has a raised hump which clicks to move it from hand set to wind up via the four leaves on the sleeve.
This system was patented by Aaron Dennison and is called a 'negative set'.
