Some time back I purchased a basket case Futurematic. It was missing some of the indicator parts #9513 & 9528 -gear & rack which I did manage to find and purchase.The watch was also missing the back set crown but the setting wheel #515 and the clip spring 495 were included. I did manage to find what looks to be the proper crown.My questions are the underside of the crown has three circular channels-do washers/o-rings fit in those groves? When I assembled the parts together to check for fit there is quite a bit of play . Is there a spring type washer that I also need ? I noticed on the setting wheel that looks quite a bit like an hour wheel tiny teeth which makes me think the the crown should have some sort of rubber o-ring or the like . I am also missing the screw that secures the crown assembly together. Is this a special screw or would any screw of the correct threads work as long as the head fits correctly into the balance stop mechanism. Any help will be appreciated as I really would like to get this project finished.Thank you, Anthony | ||

There is an O ring under the crown yes. The screw that goes through the crown does not have any thing special, it threads normally. | ||

Actually, there appears to be TWO O-rings. I do not know where to find these, it was probably not sold as an individual part. |
