dabom Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Do the current crop of UNITAS based Panerais have spring loaded crowns yet? Hopefully yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Davidsen's do, and have for quite some time. All others, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabom Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Davidsen's do, and have for quite some time. All others, nope. Thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with Davidsen, having had a sabbatical from reps until recently. Can someone PM me or let me know where I might sample some of his wares? Ta!

PAMman Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with Davidsen, having had a sabbatical from reps until recently. Can someone PM me or let me know where I might sample some of his wares? Ta! Your sabbatical must have covered the 'rise and fall' of Davidsen if he is unknown to you. He has a really good sprung crown which is available complete with a matching tube that has an OEM-type internal seal. IMO this is the best non-original crown available. However, complete watches from DSN are a complete pile of cr*p so do yourself a big favour by buying the crown & tube only, as an upgrade for a regular rep. Good luck and don't say that you haven't been warned - there are plenty of posts on the subject, complete with photos of unimaginable horrors.

jmt Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) However, complete watches from DSN are a complete pile of cr*p so do yourself a big favour by buying the crown & tube only, as an upgrade for a regular rep. Has anyone done this? I haven't seen it posted, although I haven't been looking for it. Sounds like a quality upgrade if it works... So, anyone done it with a conventional, say Joshua 111H, rep? That is his email: davidsenjpn@yahoo.com Regards, Athan That's correct. But, please, dabom, don't let the fact that you got this for free stop you from upgrading to supporter. RWG needs all the help it can get and you'd get a ton of additional great benefits by upgrading. Edited June 12, 2008 by jmt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
