    Hi all - need a little help - again::shy::

    Would like to bring this little connie closer to original, if possible.

    Current seconds hand is YG – anyone know if a RG is available?

    Crown obviously needs to be replaced – which type? Clover, or..? Any RG available out there?

    The watch (ref. 14393. Cal. 561) in question:

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Just one thing Paul - a replacement crown of the proper type would make it "correct" but it can never be "original" again unless the crown that it came from Bienne with is located and reinstalled. ;)

    Besides, can't you just whip one up in your wondermachine? :thumbsup:

    Carry on with the search!

    Believe it or not a fellow PuristS gifted the "Old Man" a correct vintage rose gold crown for Mickey's favorite Connie:)

    Back from service. RG crown sourced from an OF member (thanks again Sir). Watchmaker sourced the RG second hand, but isn't that too long?

    Some dusty pics :)

    I'd say that one is for a model with outside seconds track, so from a low-dome version.
