Model 4377 in 34mm, manual wind. Since it was a boot sale, hopefully you got it for a good price.
You can send the watch to a conservator and the crown tube can be replaced. Hopefully the crown is savable and the threads are ok.
Dont send the watch to Rolex, they wont fix it, its too old.

£25
Do you know we’re I can get a tube?

It’ll mean a few calls to vintage watchmakers. Not an easy find.

As well as ringing around watchmakers for a tube as recommended by 77T above, you could have one made as it's not a difficult part for a skilled watchmaker to replicate.

Alternatively, there are a few suppliers on ebay who might have a suitable tube and crown set, such as this one in Tokyo:

Not so many in the Uk

I def take the approach of tracking down parts like this and bringing them to my watchmaker. If you are handy, replacing a tube is quite easy. Invest in the caseback tool, and the tube screwdriver. It’s about $100 for this and a tube of locktite.

Try SHWR in London.

Cousins sell the correct sized tubes and the threads on the crown look ok so I might be lucky
I cannot find many examples with bucherer on the dial
Does anyone else have an example?

It’s back from its service luckily the crown threads were fine it just needed a tube
