·Have you spoken with a watchmaker yet?
Mine has reminded me numerous times that he has sources for parts that I will never learn of because they're not necessarily found online. I generally look only when he says he can't find something. Then we're splitting the labor.
I understand being proactive, and I want to do similar things, but talk with your watchmaker first, you might be surprised.

·. If anyone knows the part numbers or where I might source the crown and the crystal, I’d certainly appreciate it. Thanks.
Try researching on Jules Borel and Bailey.de sites for part numbers, and ask @new_heuer
He has a pile of NOS crowns.

·Gentlemen, even if we are unsuccessful in the hunt for the crown and crystal, I want to thank you in advance for your efforts. What an outstanding example of really helpful OF members! I’m searching on my end as well.

·Case reference number and caliber number. Email that to Otto Frei or Jules Borel. They use these numbers to locate the correct crown.
Didn't see where you are, but Cousins in the UK and H W Perrin in Toronto
