Need help with pocket watch case tubes


Recommended Posts

Hello I was wondering if anyone can send me a link to where i can buy stem tubes or case tubes for pocket watches. I have seen them for sale on ofrei and caskerco but not sure what Iam buying. Some are made for where the bow is and a lot of what i see is for waterproof crowns. I need the tube that attaches to the case where the crown sits. I have a pocket watch I want to convert to a wrist watch it is a size 12 Elgin i already soldered the Lugs but i need the crown to not have such a long neck, i have seen these conversions before esp during Great War period and I have seen the crown is seated against the case like a trench watch. I figured i would have to cut the neck or tube a solder a new tube into the case. I will then have to thread it and install the correct case sleeve and stem. I just need to know what needs to be purchased in order to do this. Does anyone have experience with this.
