| Post subject: | Questions about my new top time 2002 |
Hello, I'm new to the forum and just got a top time 2002. A few questions: It appears the crown isn't original based on other pics I've seen of this model. Can anyone ID this crown? See picture below. Attachment: image.jpg The crystal on this watch is plastic and raised. It is also scratched. I want to replace it. Does anyone know the specifications of the correct crystal? The watch came with an old Spiedel stretchy band. I want to replace it. What sort of bands was this watch offered with? Leather? A bracelet? Thanks for your help. Daniel |

crown is wrong, It should have a signed crown, think it is 6mm. crystal should be replaced, but the pushers look as if replacing them would be a good idea; assuming you do not know the service history it would be a good idea to think abiut a service. the watch was offered on black leather and Tropic straps, though I think honey croc is a great fit. here's a sibling.

Got it. Any idea about proper crystal shape? Are replacement crowns hard to come by? |

Fred's subtle suggestion of a service is spot on. Even if it doesn't need one now a replacement crown and crystal would make servicing a very good idea. Parts aren't easily available outside of watchmakers because they tend to keep them for their servicing needs. We have a watchmaker here Craig / chronodeco who will likely be able to help you out. |

I thought I'd share a photo of the restored watch. It's a favorite of mine. Thanks again for the help!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |
