I saw a post some time ago a method to reduce the depth of the crown dish that you may consider: insert / glue a piece of thin & small circular metal into the crown dish. If the size of the circular metal fit perfectly, it is hardly noticeable.

when i was a teenager i like to make diorama stimulating war scene, but that didn't change my attitude towards war which i hate. Instead, with the hobby i learnt a lot about the WWII history, via research of information normally not taught in school or found in textbooks, and made myself more aware of what actually had happened. Human being need the history... but how to use it is up to the individual (some want to fulfill their curiosity, some reflect & learn, some ignore & repeat...). Of course i like Panerai not just because of its rich history, although it does add some bonus. The main reason being Panerai appears to stick to their design principle, as expressed in their simple design & classic look which seems never compromise with any world trend (although a bit disppointed with a recent model with a Chinese character @6).

I'm sorry to hear the bad news. Do the things you need to do first. By all means the rep is just our pastime and nothing more important than our family.

Just waked up from sleep and found this lengthy discussion. Thanks OSRep for your genuine interest! I offer to trade with OSRep for the IWC 79320 movement, so perhaps I can answer the queries here. I had the same doubt on the newness of the 7753 when I received it from Joshua so I brought it to my watchsmith for checking. He told me that, after checking, it's "very" new, running perfectly and keeping accurate time. Of course it's unfortunate that he couldn't confirm whether it's 100% or 95% new... The date setter @10 is also working perfectly, the only thing you shouldn't do is, like other 7750, set the date when the time is between 7pm and 2am. The more people here discussing about it, the more sentiment I've towards it and don't want to part with it..., even though I never wear it before. Very strange feeling... Regarding the trade, think I'd better leave it with PM.
