much better to leave it as is, many/most GP and gold vintage wathces have replacement crowns without logos, they are quite hardto find - and it is not a big issue.
here is an example how it should look:

I'm thinking of buying this watch but can't judge myself if it is real or franken. It looks good at the first sight yet Breitling engraving on the movement seems to be suspicious for me. While I'm still learning to identify fakes please express your opinions. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120995817468? ... 1426.l2649 |

The crown is an aftermarket replacement though. |

I have found this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREITLING-Vin ... 5d2a136773 Any similarity to proper one? |
