France Ebauches 140-1c

[DouglasSkinner]

I have a France Ebauches 140-1C movement and I need a new winding stem for it.  I know that it is probably part of the Ronda system.  Anybody know the number?  Also is there a Bestfit, Quickfit, Schwartchild or Newall equivalent?  What numbers would they be?

Background: The movement is in a Caravelle N9 watch.  Don't know much about later Caravelle's. It appears this watch is from the late 70's.  Anybody know when Caravelle began to use France Ebauches movements?  Thanks in advance!

N9

You probably find that that's not the actual model number. It's probably the date code which would be 79.

I have a link below listing the parts. If you click on the stem it will give you the bestfit number  200/1727F  And all the other watches cross-references to. Then if you want to order the stem it looks like it's in stock.
