[PilotI]

I was just looking at this and something struck me:

Anybody that can see what i mean?

A sharp crystal distortion, just like the new batch of 127's!!!

[PilotI]

This is a gen but something is wrong with the watch.

[PeteM]

Its a destro CG

[Watch Guy]

Good eye PeteM!

[PilotI]

That's correct. Well spotted. The big question is why

[Watchmeister]

It is a 217 CG. The question is why. Replacement mistake when sent for servicing, jury rigged franken? What you know is the 217 came several years after the 127 so it wasn't a mistake at original assembly. This happened years after. That crown guard didn't exist when the watch was originally sold.

I have a friend that had his gen 127 cg replaced with a destro version. I know of several others that have done the same thing. They were used to the facing-up lever tip of the 44mm Luminors and wanted the same for their Fiddy.
