"Porsche" watch my dad got from Porsche with his '58
The other day, my dad gave me a wristwatch he said he got from Porsche in 1958 when he bought a new 356. (The 356 is long gone). The watch is silver, with "PORSCHE" in red across the top of the face, and no numbers, just silver narrow diamonds for the time markings.
The bummer is that the stem is broken.
First, anyone have any idea where a watch like this can be repaired, if at all?
Second, what's the story behind watches like these?

Sure, give me some time. Note that there is no second hand, just that smooth round button like dot in the center.
I just popped open the back. It says it's a "Basis Watch" in a couple places and there is a "BRAC" stamped in that almost looks hand stamped, like someone's initials.
It also says "one jewel" and is not automatic.

Surely its similar to a 100,000km watch? I'd be certainly fixing it, even if it was a present from my worst enemy. Is it gold like this one?
