Would anybody care to point me to a supplier for a unsigned crown for a Zenith De Luca 1st Series? Also why is there a lack of suppliers online for plexi and bezel inserts? Thank you in advance.
The unsigned one for a series 1 De Luca could be a bit tricky. If there is still one around, your best bet would be to try LVMH's service/parts facility in Manchester.
It is my understanding that there is not a clear answer as to whether or not the De Luca originally came with an unsigned crown. Does anyone have clear evidence one way or the other?
I spoke to the guy who I bought the watch from and he told me that the years in which he had it he never had it touched by a watchmaker except for removing a few links on his strap. So I also would like to know if there are variations on crowns.
My de Luca mk1 has a signed crown. Seller told me it was always like that. Google searches show a 70/30 split unsigned / signed respectively. I can't believe that all of the signed ones are a result of service replacements!! Zenith used both is my assumption... Will
