Question For The Pam Experts About Crown Guards/crowns

[Estaban]

Which Pam models have "spring loaded" crowns? My 196 and 029 have a different feel to the lever. I have an Arktos on the way and am curious what that one will feel like. I seem to recall that my 111 had a spring loaded feel while the others do not.

Second questions: When looking sideways at the crown guard, should it be uniform in width. I've looked at the Paneristi site and it appears that on historics the crown guard tapers towards the ends and is thicker in the middle. Is this the case for all Panerai models with crown guards?

Just curious. Pics would be great.

thanks

Only my DavidSen 195 has a sprung crown. Wow! It bounces straight out! Nice...

All he others need a tug of the fingernails to extend the crown.

But don't worry. Nobody is likely to call you out on this
