What crown for this Silver Arrow?

tmw57 · Oct 27, 2022

This one has languished for years, not working, in the watch box. I just had it serviced and it's running and keeping excellent time. It's a 30L, so no big surprises there.

I don't know for sure, but think this probably had a signed crown(?) Would really appreciate some guidance so I can try to find one

TIA

Very nice! I love the brushed dial and the RG/SS two tone combo. I'd say the crown was vey likely originally signed on a swiss case. If I were to venture a guess it'd be the button-shaped crown found on Flagships and other 30Ls.

That's a beauty!
It's the first time I see Silver Arrow with 30L. I was used to seeing them only with 23ZS or 23ZSD.
I can see similarities in the style of indices, but still, these are completely different watches. Can somebody tell what is the relation between them? are they meant for other markets or maybe produced in other periods?

Below is a photo from the internet, about what I always had in mind while thinking about Silver Arrow.
