I recently purchased a Topper B as you describe here from EBay for $65.00. The crystal was cracked but I was interested in it as repair project. I repair clocks as a hobby and thought I‘d take on a wrist watch. Thanks for posting this information. Mike D.Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01440130885542288604noreply@blogger.com
