Estaban Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 It's in great shap. Obviously needs a pin fix, lume, and crown. What about the crown guard? Is there something better out there. It's an L SWISS L dial and has an in accurate caseback.

I don't believe the 005 had the beefy CG and crown until the H series, which also (I believe), would have corresponded with an L SWISS MADE L dial. So, you could get a Jimmy Fu CG for it, and brush it for the 005. But a crown upgrade probably isn't necessary.

What watch did you start with? Mine has 21J internal movement which seems to be an issue with getting a different crown. I too would like to get a brushed crown guard for my watch as my current one is polished and a crown if one is available. If I can source the parts I'm going to send it to The Zigmeister for a re-lume. I really like my 005 and while it's far from perfect I'd love to make it a bit better.
