Vintage Croton Aquamatic, Need part/Movement
Hi, I'm trying to restore my grandfathers vintage Croton Aquamatic 360el. The watch dates back to the 40's and it has a squarish case. I'm looking for a click spring so the ratcheting works when I wind it up. I lost it taking it apart. I would consider buying a old movement the doesn't work just for that one part, or a an exact replacement movement. I've included a photo for reference. The movement is labeled E3A3 C2224, 17 jewel. If anyone can be of help to me, I'd appreciate it. Cost is an issue and I don't want to invest too much money (less than $20). Other parts I will need are a stem, crystal and gaskets.Mike
