coltrim Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi , hate to go on and on about the blasted 183 crown threads stripping BUT------- everyone seems to be impressed with the quality of Davidsens work (if not the accuracy)- do his threads strip like all the others? What is his 183 rep blackseal like for accuracy etc? Cheers for replying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've had around six of his screw down crowns. I actually got a few and replaced the existing ones on other watches. Not a one even started to show signs of stripping. Who knows what will happen over the course of years, but I think these are good quality and will hold up over time.

Any help would be appreciated on it and the accuracy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Very bad dial.. not accurate at all. The seconds hand is double the size of the seconds subdial But you will not have a problem with the stripping threads.. Decide what you want My suggestion? Buy the watch from a regular dealer and then buy this from Davidsen (i think it will fit normal rep cases): http://www.rwg.cc/members/183-Crown-t8977.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like an idiot. So by replacing the crown with davidsen's we should have accurate crown w/o stripping issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nite Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 He said to me that he put this second hand by mistake and i got the watch with normal size second hand. Rest of the dial is really nice with superb lume no recessed pin problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nite Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I am not shure about accuracy. Font are off white like they should be. Overall is nice looking, quality and already modded watch. Davidsen also installed swiss ETA movment for me. Accuracy is not my main concern so i don't know much about that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else out there have an opinion/information on Davidsen's 183 rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
