Good evening Gruenites,
As many of you know, I am in the military, in The Army to be exact, and love watches specifically, of the military variant. I was recently approached by another member for a joint venture. We are completely restoring a CAL 325, with original hands, dial, case. However, the dial was redone prior to me getting it. Kurt Ryerson did a splendid job on the hairspring, I serviced and repaired other items to include a free service, crystal, crown, and now a stem. 100% of the proceeds (when the watch is sold) is going to Folds Of Freedom to help a wounded vet's family or the vet him/herself. A picture will be provided to the forum, and I'm sure where the watch is being sold just to stay above board and accountable. Now, I am more than happy to pay for the next part, but I am in desperate need of a stem for this CAL 325. Please PM me if you have such a part, and the price you want. Your attention is greatly and sincerely, appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Timeticker

Tomas, that stem is an oddball and not part of the standard replacement sets out there. I have some other various sets and came up empty.
Chaching! Jules has stems in stock.
Cheers!

This watch was a joy to work on, and to know that Brian is an honest and forthright individual. He promised 100% proceeds, and kept his word. I will gladly contribute to another project any time he wants to do another job for a worthy cause.

Jason,
Those 325 stems were worth their weight in gold! Thanks a million tons for the help. The watch really was a beauty. What is interesting is that the guy who bought the watch, is going to attempt to find the original owners and I "think" give it back to the family. Not too sure on that, so don't quote me, but what a fitting end to a priceless treasure.
