He's also got a 'best offer' option.. but usually these kind of dreamers won't budge much. 
This guys is a real loon, though, with a $220 Buy-It-Now price! 
COTD Sixties diver in the house! 
But I need some watchmaking advice! 
The threads on the stem are ok...

Congratulations and good luck with the repair work. (n/t) (n/t) Here's another example.... (n/t)

If there are any threads left at all, you might try Loc-Tite red... I do have a possible crown donor right here at home, but I just can't get the damned thing open. 
According to ranfft.de
the movement are a near equivalent to Seiko 6602D, whatever that means.
Do you have any additional information about the UTC movement?
Swiss/Japanese? Bummer...Quote

..no, there's hardly any thread left..
Right, I've got two watches with the UT(C) 29 movement. The Unichron has a slightly higher level of movement finishing, and the D'Orsay, which is pretty much identical to your Swank.Quote

I guess the watch you showed in your reply above is one of the watches in this reply, right? Their identical, part from the "brand" name and the text below.
According to my sources (and one is our own bjohnsonQuote

), UT was (is) Japanese, and is basically an export division of Seiko.Both my UT 29's run great. Seems to be a stalwart movement!Quote

Back in the day, "Made in Japan" didn't exactly sound good to North American buyers.
Seiko sold ebauches to other companies under the named Universal Time Co (just to confuse everyone, there is a DIFFERENT Universal which I think was Durowe after the Swiss Ebauche group bought it. Durowe was a German movement maker that the Swiss bought to get easy access to the German market.)
Anyway ... UT 29 = Sportsman = Seiko 66
Of course, you wouldn't expect any less from a 
product.. 
'tis a German-made 17-Jewel Handwind kinda day at Ricky Lee's Home For Wayward Wristwatches
watches are me bread and butter, and I knew it going in. Two of the 3
(a 25-jewel Timex auto and a 17-jewel Enicar auto) they did contain
were non-runners. But the third.. Ah! The third!
But after I've worn it a bit I've come to adore it!
I see no makers mark anywhere - I suspect 'tis on the dial side. 'R72'
is about the only clue I see, other than the German-made aspect. Bro.
bjohnson? Bro. Clitheroe? One o' you Watch Wizards care to give it a go?
the blue dial on this thing sooooo much (the fotoz don't do it justice! ), I'd probably have paid what I've got in the entire lot for it alone 
OK! OK!.. maybe not quite.. but very nearly so! Which, in a way, makes the rest o' 'em free! 'tis a German-made 17-Jewel Handwind kinda day at Ricky Lee's Home For Wayward Wristwatches (n/t) (n/t) ), and I believe I could reproduce this dial in
eight steps or less. , but my photos really don't do this dial justice. Sweeeet! Congrats! (n/t) I hope you have enough chairs for christmas dinner. Or do they get a place in the christmas tree? But hey! Always room for one more! Quote

I really enjoy seeing your acquisitions,keep it going bud
mate!
I placed a re-stock order for batteries on Sunday night, and I'm hoping
they'll arrive today. Looks like it's gonna be a busy weekend at Ye
Olde Caveman Watchmakers Shoppe. Ole amigo! Hope you get the batteries soon; I am waiting for a card with 10 LR44's for about 2 weeks already
Needing them for me mini flaslight,alarm clock and a toy for my friends
1 year old son. The little man looks nastier and nastier at me every
time I come through the door without new accumulators way up! And thanks for putting the photos up. (n/t)
