1959 Beau Brummel Crystal

Hello,

I am looking for a new crystal for my 1959 Beau Brummel DD. Alternatively, I would be happy to source part on eBay if someone has the part number?

Also, I have reached out to some watchmakers listed on NAWCC in the Dallas area and they indicated they do not work on vintage watches because of the challenge to source parts. Any guidance for local watchmakers that I could use for routine servicing? 

Thanks,
Cody

Interchangeability of 9AN hands?

Hi, guys.

I have a working 9AN movement.  All it needs are new hands.  Unfortunately these movements look like they're rare as hen's teeth.  I've looked around including at the info on the site and I can't find any information about the interchangeability of these hands with other movements (e.g. the much more common 10AN).  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom S.

Can someone confirm whether the case back on the deep sea chrono is friction fitted or screw down? I suppose I should know but it is not apparent to me and I don't want to do anything until I know for certain. If it is a screw down, is there a specific wrench to use and does someone want to part with one?
