On a Bunn Special Model #173 tu-tone case, are just the bezel and back white gold, or is the crown also white gold. Thanks. Bob

Hi Bob,

The entire frame and that includes bow and crown on Bunn Special two-tone cases such as the 28 / 173 will be the predominant color in this instance green and then both back and bezel will be white. If you are finding a two-tone with a white crown then someone had been making changes. Always carefully check component numbers and be on guard for re-plating when buying two-tone cases, there are more fakes that you might imagine.
