Johan123m/Jarl Rehn-Erichsen /StewartM ,

Much appreciated for your comments/suggestions. This certainly going to be a fun project if I also need to locate the back plate and the crown. The current crown is certainly too small.

I posted additional side view photos below. I use a ruler to measure and the thickness from the back plate to the glass is 1/4 inch.

Thank you again and I really hope I can put it back to life again. Suggestions are welcome.

: dial model, then it might be - but a early 980.006 'fat boy'
: case is the same as a 844 (I believe).
: Either way, myself and Jarl have both fitted Autos to dead Quartz
: models with a perfect fit.
