Help with parts - stem, crown, sizing - Hamilton 770

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well.

I was recently lucky enough to be given a Hamilton Edgemere B in quite good shape, with a Hamilton 770 movement inside. The watch is lacking a stem and crown. In all of my other servicing adventures the only missing parts I have dealt with so far are missing crystals. So another learning adventure.

I am not finding too much when searching for Hamilton 770 crown. Ofrie has a listing with no photo (but I guess I have nothing to compare to anyway). Ebay has some listings - the photos there do not match the stem photos found on another watch repair site (links below). Doing some googling, I found on a hamilton repair blog where he notes the 770 is a 12/0 size caliber. I had some further luck searching ebay for this.

Ofrei description - Genuine Hamilton Stem Extra Shoulder between Hub and Thread 12/0 Size Grades 752-753-754-770

Watch material.com link with photo - https://www.watchmaterial.com/winding-stem-hamilton-caliber-730-735-747-748-752-753-754-768-770-part-401/

Ebay link with photo - https://www.ebay.com/itm/374307646616

I also found another ebay link with a similar photo. In my mind the ebay photo lines up with the ofrei description of 'extra should between hub and thread'

Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Onto the crown then - I cannot find any reference re: thread sizes for then searching out a crown - do I just need to wait until I receive a stem, and then measure and go from there?

Included a photo of the watch for interest.

Thanks all for your help and time.

Edit - I think looking at the watchmaterial.com website, they use the same photo for all of their stems, so I cannot go by that.

If you were to make a stem, the keyless provides all sizings for a good fitting and functional stem. 

 Suppose the movement was unidentified,  you still have the keyless to find out what fits and works.

      attached is the tech /parts sheet. .   Can one ask how come it’s full of water. After being told that the waterproofing was not guaranteed.  Problem being electronics don’t mix especially withe the power source being attached.  You may be lucky but I should look out for a replacement movement or working donor to rob the movement from.

      Breitling Navi Heritage (ETA 2892A2) seconds subdial skippiness...

      By JeremyLaurenson · Posted

      I thought this may be "right" forum to post this. After 7 months out in Switzerland I got my Navitimer back from Breitling. I had sent it off since its 20 years old to have a complete overhaul done... Nothing major wrong, but I did notice this seconds sundial skipping thingy.... $1300 later and 7 months later, I notice the 'skips' are still here unless the chronometer is engaged. I would think this is likely the hand binding up and maybe clearance with the dial, but at any rate Im interested as to whether this is something I should be returning the watch to Breitling for and insisting on being fixed. See below - 1 minute or so of regular running and then 1 minute with the chronograph engaged.

      Unknown mechanism

      By Giogrlj · Posted

      A friend of mine just gave me an old pocket watch. The case is in very bad condition but the movement itself seems to be in a quite good shape. I can't identify which movement is this, since I have to find a missing winding stem. I attach few photos in a case somebody would be able to give some hints.  Thank's folks

      How to recognize radioactive watches.

      By WatchesFarm · Posted

      Hello everyone, I recently received a request for advice on purchasing a vintage watch, a Waltham A-11 ORD. DEPT. I asked if they were aware that these types of watches have radioactive hands and dials... but they had no idea what I was talking about. So, I thought of creating a video that could help recognize them, starting from the distinctive details to using a Geiger counter. I hope you like it and find it useful for those venturing into the world of vintage watches. Bye.
