    As the title says, i'm looking for a split stem & crown for my Wyler Incaflex Railroad Approved watch.

    The Wyler movement is a WH290, which is a modified ETA 2776.

    The watch is a front loader, which requires a split stem & crown. Not fussed if the crown is in SS or Gold plated,

    Please message me if you have any spare, unutilised parts. Will also buy parts watch if you want to sell complete.
    Will also chase down any leads you that you are kind enough to send my way. Thank you.

    Here's a pic of the watch

    Are you unable to find any at Ofrei or Jules Borel? I probably have the stem portion that goes into the watch but in a tray of "misc".
    If you have the original and can get me some measurements, I'm more than happy to check.

    Hello Redpar,

    I can't seem to find the correct part number for the stem & crown, so i've searched for the following;
    - ETA 2776
    - W3275 - the standard stem for the 2776
    - WH290

    Nothing found on Jules Borel, Cousins, or scotchwatch. Still waiting for a reply from ST Supplies.

    only this in Ofrei, but it's not a split stem

    Hello Redpar,

    Sorry for the late reply, i managed to get the case opened & the stem is still there.

    I also found this crown online, same tube size of 1.9mm. I shall wait for this to arrive before confirming that it's correct.

    Funny thing is, i noticed while searching that some are male stems/female crowns & others are Female stems/male crowns. Is there a correct type? Thank you.

    I'm heading out of town for a week. Others should be able to jump in and help you here.
    You have the stem for the movement. This is a good thing.
    Looks like you need a simple female split stem to screw into a crown. Wyler didn't ship the crown plus stem assembly (that I'm aware of).
    If you are dead set on getting a Wyler crown, I would suggest buying a split stem (female portion) that screws into the crown after you have the crown. You will need to do some fitting (trimming).
    Gotta go. Sorry.
