Watch Description

I put square as the case shape although technically the corners don't come to a point.    The case is 14k.  The crown is marked with a "B". What material is the crown/stem made of, gold, plated gold, or stainless?  It has a Speidel band. What band would have originally been on the watch?  I would like to replace the crystal. The original has a crack. Please tell me the model. I think with the model name I can order the correct crystal.   Works and Keeps Time.   

Thank you,   Philip Ziller

Welcome and thank you for sharing your watch with us. By the 1973 linebook, your watch is a

The band as seen in the ad would be "original equipment". I can't answer your question about the crown composition, perhaps one of the other panel members can answer that one.

Wonderful and quick info!  I appreciate the help.  I am ordering the new crystal and hope to receive and put it in by next week.  I may look to see if I have a band that more closely matches the original, also. 

Thank you,

Philip

1972 Golden Goddess "MD"  is a good match.   Thank you for sharing.  As for the crown I am not 100% sure but believe they are supposed to be 14kt gold capped.  The core is brass with a heavy cover of 14kt.

Agree with Golden Goddess "MD"

Not sure about the crown. I always figured they were just stainless or possibly gold plated.
