  1. This may be an in appropriate question because it concerns a Quartz watch. I personally do not own a Quartz watch and have never worked on one. A friend collects golf memorabilia and came across this watch. It has some collectible value and is a few years old. It appears to be a substantial watch and is very different than the cheap Chinese watches that I see so often. This is a watch that was given to those who purchased high priced tickets to the Augusta Masters Golf Tournament. (Yes I live in Augusta, GA and there are a lot of Master's souvenirs floating around). The problem is that the crown is missing. I thought that the stem might be missing also, but when I opened the case the stem was present. As you can see in the pictures, the stem ends in a "sleeve" which appears to be made of brass. There is a hole in the end of the sleeve. I probed the hole with a tiny wire to the best of my ability and believe that there are no threads in the hole. Now the question. Is it possible to replace the crown on such a watch? Where can I acquire a crown? How can I determine what size crown is needed? I need to add here that there is no manufacturer's mark on the watch, or at least if there is one I have not found it yet. Does a stem extension fit into the end of the existing stem? Any and all help or comments will be appreciated. Bill in Augusta, Georgia
