702 Crown Arrived and Installed

[Jaethomp]

Got the crown in today. While I had it disassembled I distressed the case a bit, faded the insert. The bezel assembly is still not correct, however it looks good. I had to get another insert which is tight against the crystal, after a bit of sanding and fading it looks good to me and that's my friction. I also baked the dial and hands but can't tell a difference.

How long did it take for the crown to arrive? I ordered one a month ago and still haven't seen it.

+1. I know mine has been shipped, so I'm not worried, but just eager to get the part! My 5514 project is hungry! Haha

Last part I need for mine as well.

Wow! Ok, that sucks for you... Mine is like part 15 out of 20 or so I need for mine... Including the movement!

Mine just got here yesterday... Stamped with about a hundred "Inspected by United States Customs" stickers and stamps. Guess they were really curious - looks like probably 5 people had to take a look at it!
