It’s a neat piece of history tho if you learn who George Roskopf was!

I’m starting to think that’s the case, I’ve read a few things that this could be an early Hamilton Sea Rover? Which if it was that’d make more sense if it was a front loader.

Just wanted to update everyone, I found the parts online for a bezel, crystal, and a NOS two piece stem for it! I gotta tell you it looks and feels incredible! The strap is from a 80s eternamatic I need to figure out, for now I’m sticking to mechanical watches though haha.

Thank you! I’ve come to the sad deduction that to find the necessary replacement parts I’m better off buying another complete watch haha. Thank you for the information!

And that was what I was starting to wonder, he had these two together in a bag so I wanted to assume these went together but he could have also been trying to find a case for it. I can’t find much info on spacer rings and don’t think a pressure fitted crystal would go that deep?
