I currently have 3 Landeron 48 movements without cases that are working and I need cases for them. I have searched ebay and the only cases I can find cost more than the movements. Does anyone know of a source for used cases? I don't care if they are in great condition as long as they are complete or just missing the crystal. Like many of you, I do this as a hobby and don't have a lot of money to invest. So I need them to be as affordable as possible. Thanks for any info.

My problem too. I have three quality ETA 7001 movements that need cases but have not been able to source any for months.

What would you pay? I just had replated a Gladiador brand Nickel plated case for a Landeron 48.
The movement appears to be lost somewhere, it was at my parents house and then we moved. It is complete with pushers and crown/stem.

It originally had wire lugs and I had them cut off and holes drilled by Replateit.com which they did a sensational job on.
Comes with crystal and bezel and polished case back.

It owes me $120 AUD at this stage so I can put some pictures up and you can have a think (AUD to USD makes it around 81USD).

I am interested in the case. Can you post some pictures and your price for the case.

Actually that can't be done because there is a no sales policy here. Use PM or email for that.

I'm backing up what jdm has pointed out. Keep selling away from this forum, if not I will lock this thread. Thanks jdm for pointing this out.

    • So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!     
    • I suppose the first question is have you got the correct replacement stem. If you've removed it in the setting position then you could try pressing the button while inserting the stem. Other than that it's a case of possible strip down to get to the setting lever. 
    • The stem was already broken when I got the watch, so there was a piece already left in the movement, so I don’t what the setting was at when it broke! There’s still a broken piece left in the crown which i can’t get out! I just removed the broken piece left by the detent button as normal!
    • How did you remove the stem and what was the reason for removing it.
