Photos of broken crown: experts please help...

Thanks Stewart,

Here is a picture of the body of the crown and internal parts....which are not internal anymore. There is an inset of the hollow side of the crown. The little plate with the threaded tube (female) has an odd shaped bottom with little flanges. There is also a copper colored spring. If anyone has any experience at successfully putting one back together I would love to hear about it. My watchmaker was dubious that he could get the female tube flange deal in straight and end up having it even marginally pressure testable.
