Hi,
I guess this would also fall under "Watch Parts & Trade". I have recently inherited a 1948 Arnold timepiece from my step fathers, father. I used this website to identify the watch (thank you all). The crown stem is in rough condition and I will most likely need to clean it. I believe it might be a bit rusty. Recommended cleaning method / solution would be nice. Also, I was wondering if anyone know's where I can purchase a crown for this piece, are the crowns specific for this watch. I noticed in the adverts on this website, for the Arnold. The crown says "Bulova" on it. I would like to get this timepiece running again. I was told by a local repairmen that it would cost 3-400 dollars, and he said it wasn't worth spending the money.
I would like to see if I could fix this piece myself (if I cannot, then so be it). The movement looks great.
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated :).
What is the movement model in the watch?
