    Dear All,
    I have this chronograph Zenith vintage El Primero 40.0, ref. 20.0020.400 from 1985. The condition of the watch is good, but the crown (gold capped) is missing the front cap.
    I would like to find a replacement .. did already some search .. on Ebay, there is a fellow that seems to be specialized in Zenith crowns ... has a large number to sell .. unfortunately, not mine that is 6mm diameter.
    Zenith itself in that regard is hopeless .. should they have that crown, they will ask the watch, do a complete overhaul and charge me 600.€ or more ! for a crown that I can buy for 35.€ (if I find it ... true).
    I wonder if somebody would be able to help finding such crown, pointing in the right direction ..
    Thank you for your attention,
