Would anybody care to point me to a supplier for a unsigned crown for a Zenith De Luca 1st Series?

Also why is there a lack of suppliers online for plexi and bezel inserts?

Thank you in advance.

You work as a watchmaker, but don't know where to find parts? You won't be getting my custom. :p

The unsigned one for a series 1 De Luca could be a bit tricky. If there is still one around, your best bet would be to try LVMH's service/parts facility in Manchester.

It is my understanding that there is not a clear answer as to whether or not the De Luca originally came with an unsigned crown. Does anyone have clear evidence one way or the other?

I spoke to the guy who I bought the watch from and he told me that the years in which he had it he never had it touched by a watchmaker except for removing a few links on his strap. So I also would like to know if there are variations on crowns.

My de Luca mk1 has a signed crown. Seller told me it was always like that.
Google searches show a 70/30 split unsigned / signed respectively.
I can't believe that all of the signed ones are a result of service replacements!!
Zenith used both is my assumption...
