Black Dial Rose Gold Connie w/ arrowhead markers arrived. Need to find correct RG crown & second han

Pahawi · Sep 9, 2016

Hi all - need a little help - again😟

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

I have a ss one you could have plated rose gold. Let New know If you can't find a rose gold one.

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? 👍

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😀

Oh.... Sorry.

I guess I have cost you a small amount of money bidding that one up 😬

Yes, you were annoying - again 😀

Bump.

I could use a RG buckle too 😀

Believe the thread belongs more in the WTB section - sorry Mods 😟

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.

Think so too - easy fix, though:
