Hi,

No problem with setting time or winding the watch (some Automatics can be wound others not, like Seiko or Orient). Also setting the date is no problem. The crown functions ok, it is just not "screwable" anymore. This is a cosmetic thing, because replicas are not waterproof like gens. If it would happen on a gen watch, you could not dive / swim anymore, because of the crown not being screwed tight.

So the watch works very well, it is just the look that sucks a bit, because the crown doesn't sit "right" (you see a bit of the stem, but not much).

As it is a replica and was never waterproof, it is just as functional as before, but ....the look

Regards,

Bernie

Hey Bernie, thanks a bunch for your help. At least your crown and rest of watch is functional - the cosmetic part isn't too bad. Also, I suppose you could replace the broken crown with a gen crown for not too much?

I hope to purchase my first PO rep soon!

Good looking watch... from whom did you order?

Damn, sorry to hear about your broken crown... so does that mean you can't adjust the time or date anymore? If so, how can you fix it?

hey Bernie, well the 42mm looks good. Did you get the 21J movt from Josh? I didn't see the 42mm versions with the ETA or Asian clone movts, but perhaps I am wrong.

Either way, congrats on the purchase!

Hi, first post here!

Great watch, is that the 42mm or 45mm version?
