Noob Question on the 177

[sed]

Hi,

I am new to the hobby. and I am interested in the 177. I have seen a couple of pics and would like to know is it supposed to say L Swiss Made L on the 177? Isn't it supposed to be L Swiss L? Also I saw a pic of a DSN 177 in the replica discussion section and the crown isn't flushed with the case, my local dealers reps are the same. Are they all like that? The gen has the crown right up to the case, correct? Doing some research and hoping someone can shed some light on the matter. Thanks.

PS: Did a search, for the info I wanted but couldn't find answers.

Sandwich dial (H series or newer) will have the "L Swiss Made L" print. Sausage dials will have "L Swiss L".

How close the crown sits to the edge of the case varies a great deal from one watch to the next, even on gen PAMs.

Hope this helps.

Yup that helps. I think I'll go ahead and bite the bullet and get the 177. Thanks a bunch!

Here's my 177H from Andrew. Lots of things wrong, cannon pinion, crown etc. but still a great watch.
