Wearing a big lump of a watch today. Feels like i have a kettlebell on my wrist. Aw no and i promised no more bare leg shots 🤷♂️ , good god our lass needs her legs shaving and before anyone asks no she didn't lay the watch on top of my head and take a picture 😅 -
I have a Bergeon set, a Chinese set, and and anonymous set (in aluminium), and all of the handles and winders are interchangeable. There are slight variations in the fit but essentially they all fit and work.

I made my own because most people’s hands are different so making your own means you get the most comfortable fit , just hardwood dowling brass tube and a length of HSS. Dell

I have Bergeon winders #6 and #7. I don't have a handle, probably using a handle it's a much nicer experience but they are perfectly usable without one.

They do exist, i had a Lucerne front access a couple of years ago that had a false looking screw down case. At this stage if you are positive that the case and back are in one piece and the split stem is unsure then start thinking about pulling off that crystal. If its waterproof then it should have an armoured ring but in any case there is some good height on the sides to try a crystal lift tool. If it wont budge then some double sided tape stuck to your bench , place the watch face down and let the tape set for an hour before pulling up. If the crystal has a distinct dome to it look for a good matching surface to press into to get a positive seating for a good adhesive contact. I have even had a small suction cup pull off a crystal before.
