Need Crown for Early WWII Bulova A-11

Submitted by flyer92 on March 17, 2023 - 12:51am

Greetings all!  New member here, desperately seeking a hard-to-find part.  Along with other A-11 examples from Elgin and Waltham, I have been the proud owner of an early WWII Bulova A-11 with sterling silver case.  Unfortunately, it has a plated crown, which is found on the majority of these watches, but obviously isn't the right one for the limited-production sterling silver case.  Not only is it incorrect, but it stands out like a sore thumb because it is so shiny against the tarnished case.  Just wondering if anyone knows of a source or even has a crown they'd be willing to sell so I can make this historic timepiece whole and correct once again.  I appreciate any recommendations and thanks in advance for your time and attention.
