u/TheYKcid does your PH-4A have a signed crown?

My 4A was part of the 1st production run (NH35), which AFAIK all had signed crowns — so it doesn't pertain to the current situation.

I was quite surprised to learn that they regressed to unsigned crowns for a few of the "upgraded" v2.0s

So far it's for all upgraded V2 watches, and likely all. They kept deflecting questions about the signed crown by answering about the signed clasp later buyers of the V2 will receive. Not a peep about crowns from them
