    Hi guys
    I bought this navigator on a fleemarket in France. Ref 45501 with a 9xxx serial and Lemania 1341 / Tissot 2170 mvmt

    The crystal is an absolute mess and will be replaced asap.
    Looking at the dial with a loupe shows only one white spot (below the word Navigator), but I can live with that.
    The movement does not run but the balance seems to be OK but who knows?

    But the crown is a unbranded one. Can anybody here tell me what kind of crown I should look for? Or could that even be correct?
    Thanks for your help.

    Unbranded can be correct with that navigator. In fact, I think that most of them are with a non branded crown. I had some from the first owners, never serviced and simple no „T“ crown.

    Don’t ask me why Tissot did it without it back than.

    Thanks for the info. In that case I'll leave it like that and just get a new crystal and a service.

    Finding the right Plexi will be tough too. The inner bezel has to fit into the Plexi.
    Try to clean and polish the Plexi first. Some ultra sonic waves and poly watch can do wonders ;)
