BEST way to end a positive review hehe

what can I say, I'm from NYC!!

Good News guys, this tube is perfect.

Just received mine for the 5514 project, everyone knows that dbane and I have been tearing our hair out because of the strange thread pitch on the gen 702 tubes.

Anyway, gen 702 crown screws down like butter. Tube screws into the case smoothly and seats perfectly how it should.

This tube gets an A+ and I am happy to say that I can finally assembly my 5514. Thanks Athaya, great f'ing job.

Jordan Carver. Just to much...

there is a gasket behind the head of the hev that should seal the case. could be a bad gasket, or not there at all. easy to replace if thats the issue

I was only kidding Good luck with the hunt. About to finish a special sub build myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

what's a vintage rolex? and who has the best one?

Or we can accept that it is more than likely we are all insignificant mutations on one of countless planets and solar systems in our "known" universe spending our blink of an eye existence worrying about this thought up afterlife because we are petrified to realize that our existence is very finite and once it's done it's done. And what's wrong with that? The idea of an afterlife is exhausting. Either way, I respect everyone's faith as long as it doesn't lead them to believe it's ok or encourage them to commit acts of harm on other living beings or to lessen ones existence on this earth because their lives are not in line with your beliefs. We're all right and we're all wrong and none of us are going to get out of it alive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe the 1680 does. Couldn't tell you about the tudor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5513 doesn't have a gasket btw bezel and case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Darn!  No wonder my supercollider is making lasagna instead of Higgs Bosons. 

common mistake. its ok, just try not to make any black holes while you're at it

not bad not bad, but that equation is missing an x

Here's a cross section of a 701 combo, they're nearly identical to the 702.  You can see an o-ring that fits snug around the center post.  When you screw it down that forces the o-ring into a cutaway in the end of the tube for the seal.  It also shows the 2 o-rings inside the tube.

 

NERD ALERT!!!

I can't be in the club I never bought one of his case sets, was in the midst of a big crown build then... I do however have a friend who has a mint pre comex dial for sale and hand set to match, hmmm

you're all just tainting my grail

been agonizing over it. I dont want a 703 on this build and we've been going crazy over the 702 tube issue. I have both 702 and 703 combos. Gonna try the tube from Athaya like yours and save myself the OCD.

@cc33 - yes, he wins. I havent even started on my case yet. That gen pre comex dial that I hunted down like a rabid beast is burning a hole in my parts box

VERY NICE!!!! Congrats. I have almost the exact same build in cue but with a gen pre comex dial/hands/insert.

Waiting for Athaya to respond about the tube to avoid going 703.

can we see a pic of this tube please?

Agree. Gotta go gen. Post a wtb in VRM Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
