    Nice date at six, second edition with the trapezoidal window. I think it deserves a new crystal, though, or are you going to polish it up?

    Your photos are excellent, by the by.

    Hi John
    I have a new crystal PZ5000 but I thought I would leave it wholly in the 50's if I ever sell it then the crystal will go with it.

    very nice :thumbsup:
    FWIW, I don't think there is a way to know if the crystal is original and it is widely acceptable to have this replaced without any impact on value.

    I think that crown is a later replacement.

    Reference 2627, and I think Hoi is right judging by the slight color difference. It's the correct style clover crown though.

    Very nice watch prostie!

    Anyone knows where can I find a replacement for this clover style crown in stainless steel?
    It is out of stock in ofrei and cousins has the old style not the clover.

    Thanks for the info. I'll keep Blake contact for future parts. For now I'll try the one from eBay.
