I made my own because most people’s hands are different so making your own means you get the most comfortable fit , just hardwood dowling brass tube and a length of HSS. Dell

I have Bergeon winders #6 and #7. I don't have a handle, probably using a handle it's a much nicer experience but they are perfectly usable without one.

They do exist, i had a Lucerne front access a couple of years ago that had a false looking screw down case. At this stage if you are positive that the case and back are in one piece and the split stem is unsure then start thinking about pulling off that crystal. If its waterproof then it should have an armoured ring but in any case there is some good height on the sides to try a crystal lift tool. If it wont budge then some double sided tape stuck to your bench , place the watch face down and let the tape set for an hour before pulling up. If the crystal has a distinct dome to it look for a good matching surface to press into to get a positive seating for a good adhesive contact. I have even had a small suction cup pull off a crystal before. -
If it's a push on back then it could have a notch in it for the stem which would mean the wording position would stay the same across all watches no matter how many times the back was removed. I've never seen a watch of this era, even a front loader, that doesn't have a removable back.

Rule of thumb I have is that if the dial is larger than the case back (or the thing pretending to be a case back) then it is probably a front loader. Appreciate it's sometimes not easy to tell, but lots of times it's obvious and you kick yourself for not realising it earlier.
