Pete , HHHMMMMM its is you Things have changed generally for the better rep wise it started with DSN's PR's then , the A7753 Chrono's, Neither of which seem to get a look in these days. and now the 000/005's and the 111/112/176/177 are all pretty fantastic these H's & Noobs well they don't need modding. My first 177 had a crown like a Lego Cog its needed changing once I got the knowledge but now Out the box is superior in so many ways and modding costs to much with to little gain on these. Anyway did you ever finish the Deployant clasp review ?????? I agree with MMD & MaxM this place isn't that welcoming for the newbie either which don't really help, perhaps I need to hit that like button a bit more

First, make sure you are not confusing the watch serial number with the movements COSC/Serial number. They are two different animals. I have had TWO gen chronometers get out of sync in this area as the result of warranty service. If you read the fine print, the COSC cert follows the "original movement", but if you take it back a week later and the "Service Center" decides to swap the moment because they are too lazy to really fix it, you are now SOL when it comes to matching COSC paper work. This varies by manufacturer. My guess, is the original owner had an issue/problem with the watch. Took it in for repair, and some sort of 'swap' occurred. The owner, now gun-shy about his high end Swiss timepiece, decides to bail out and sell. -or- as mentioned, the jeweler screwed up in haste.
