i have been given a Pulsar watch - see photo - which has no stem or crown. I have managed to locate a stem for the watch which has Hattori VK63 movement. I am unsure what sort of crown to get for the watch, it is a waterproof crown, but would it be just a flat crown that fits over the pendant, or would the crown have any sort of tube? Presumably the crown just pushes over the pendant tube, when the stem is pulled out or pushed in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not familiar with this movement but as it is waterproof to 100 metres then it will need a waterproof crown. By looking at the the pic below it looks like some sort of screw down crown but of a design I have not seen before.

Looking at what can be seen of the pendant tube it looks like a standard O ring type waterproof crown.

The picture that CB has posted shows that the original crown is quite stylised and whether or not you could source an exact replacement comes down to what spares Pulsar has made available for this watch, and how much searching you want to do, but at a push you can probably get away with a generic non-screw down waterproof crown.

Just make sure whatever you use fits snugly. Some Japanese crowns have the gasket fitted on the stem section, but you don't have to follow that convention. Just measure the pendant tube width and choose the right size for your given stem tap. Cousins have a wide selection.

      Maybe you had a bad one H, the cheap blue one i use has been fine for nearly 3 years now. It demags enough to stop the tiniest of screws sticking to the carbon steel tweezers i use. If it were to fail at some point in the future i very  probably would go up a level of device just because.

      Lot of “industrial “ de magnifiers on Aliexpress  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004699640024.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=17858129175&albag=&trgt=&crea=en1005004699640024&netw=x&device=c&albpg=&albpd=en1005004699640024&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmcxIEVpMt1vFIKQyfjVwT95zrBsOi5dt-GgFOmLamBcMcu4tO7CfaaxoChnEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=6b7c60e41b044cb39d1431f62cda0958&afSmartRedirect=y   a hard drive wiper/degauser would also be worth looking at.   Tom

      Unfortunately yes! Magnetism can wreak havoc on a mechanical watch movement if the balance hairspring becomes magnetised. The cheap blue Chinese demagnetise-rs are useless if you feed them the wrong voltage (> 110 V), and even so, they don't work very well. The one I got when I was new worked so poorly that it drove me nuts. Eventually, I was lucky to get a Greiner Magnomatic for a little money. It's an amazing tool that can be trusted to do its job perfectly in seconds. A new one comes with a price tag of  £885 excluding tax and shipping, and if you think that's a bit steep (I believe most of us would) and can't find a used one I'd go with @Jon's recommendation.

      You definitely pick up different names from different people of all ages from everywhere. Like learning different dialects of the same language. Its all part of the learning curve of any trade.  Both those two terms describe to me perfectly that they are one and the same. After a couple of years of knowledge you can figure out what is being talked about. There are times that i get caught out with something i haven't encountered before.
