I was doing some research on late 60’s Speedy crowns and well, life got in the way. I’ll check my spreadsheet and see if I can offer anything re crown originality.

Nice watch, but I think that the dial has been relumed IMHO.
I agree that the crown should be replaced...

Cheers

Yes return it and buy mine 😁 all original

Kinda foolish to make a swap to a flatfoot maybe??

Well, that's of course entirely up to you. I have to plea guilty to replacing a 32 tooth crown with a flat foot on one of my Speedmasters (145.022-67). Then again, I've also left it on another (145.022-68), so I guess that evens things out. 😁

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably leave it as is. Don't ask me why, I honestly do not have a rationale for it.

David - that would be nice!
Simon might freak out if I ask him to change it to another crown...?

Grattis @hansaboy! Looks like an honest and lovely piece. To me that lume looks original. Reminds me of my old 145.012-67. That one also had a 32 crown.

Tack @Heinz83 !!

And the crown...🤔
I messed up with my post regarding my transitional 68, and learned the "hard way", so that one is going to be exchanged..

We will see what happens to this one??
Cheers!
