Hi its a long shot but worth a go.

This is a 23 jewel automatic omer watch from around the 50s 60s it has a ETA movement that begins 24 -- I know i should dismantle it to check it clearly but it has been knocked and is indistinctive.. Its just the winding stem i need damn thing snapped on me .

Last number may be 9 but its really not clear any more.

Anyoner with a idea what it may be give us a shout.

cheers

Well, it’s a no date, so that narrows it down. 
 

24xx family should all use the same stem. 
 

2483 maybe?

2784 is the date movement in my 9411s. 2783 was the no date variant I think. 
 

last digit goes up with complications. 
 

no date; date; day-date

i don’t have my files here at home or I’d look it up in the old data sheets. 
 

efit- I forgot sometimes beat rate varied on the older movements. But I don’t think that would effect the stem.

Hmm..  Think you have to take off the winding mechanism and the balance bridge to be completely sure,
since it has a pin and not a screw on the oscillating weight it is a 24XX. It has no date and looks like a pure dial side so probably an
ETA 2459. 
When confirming the exact caliber if it actually says ETA 2459 you can look for any of these stems and they will probably fit since they should be the same.
ETA 2390 
ETA 2391 
ETA 2451 
ETA 2452 
ETA 2459 
ETA 2472 
ETA 2474

    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ  
    • As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time.
