Trying to find the right crown for a 1954 Seamaster

My father gave me his 1954 Seamaster, date on 6, watch. It is self winding and runs perfectly. However while setting it for me he lost the crown. It has sate in my drawer for the past 12 years. It is stainless steel. It looks like this one except that this one has the gold numbers and face. I remember the the crown looked like the one int the picture. Click the third picture in this link that is below the first and you will see the inside of the back case. Where can I find a crown like this in stainless steel and what is the price of the item. See the link below in order to understand what I am looking for

I am wearing the watch today and just love the sweep movement of the second hand but want to find the correct crown to guarantee the water proofing.

Thanks

Ken
