Crowns...wear 'em if you got 'em! Q...Why am I posting all this watchjunk? A...Because I have hunted two days for the escape wheel and train wheels for my 5500AK project. ..seven or eight hours total (while cleaning my 'shop' up a little). I finally found the parts in one of my parts boxes, hiding in a small clear plastic cup inside a dental floss box! Like a dumb-azz, I hid it from myself by putting it in the dental floss box. Q..Why put the parts in the dental floss box? A...To keep the lid from coming off the small plastic box containing the parts. It has happened before. Anyway, while digging through a bunch of stuff (including a bunch of crowns), some TC crowns turned up in the mix. New Genuine... They all are the older style for watches made before the 'monobloc' crowns came out. Some owners want the older style crowns to keep their watch like it was when new so I keep them for repairs. Do not have any monobloc crowns or watches that came with them unless my 14010M AK has one. I doubt it does because it has the old type bracelet with removable hoods. Take offs... Some good, some not so good. I posted these once before iirc. TC 'Trophy' Crowns... These crowns are very good except the clutch springs sometimes get weak. 'Trophy' = they are getting hard to find so I figure I might win a Trophy for finding mine. Ha! I got them October 5, 2012. No comment. Happy Crown Day!
