  3. Need help on a Rolex Gen Tube and Crown!

    in Watch Repair & Upgrade

    Posted

    The gen utilizes a Trip-Lock Crown for all Subs including the TT.

    Here is a link to the Rolex Web site with the info on the Sub Trip-Lock crown. Cheers

    Rolex.com about Sub Crown

    Yep, they use trip lock :p , what I'm wondering is if the one I got is a fake, I already have it, and it was from a very reputable seller on eBay that a few members had recommended because he's legit. I just measured the crown and it's exactly 3mm thick, is that the correct thickness?

    Ok I got this crown from eBay, here's the pic and description:

    Rolex 18K Gold Submariner Twin Lock Watch Crown

    * 100% Genuine Rolex 18K Crown

    * Submariner Crown- 7.10mm OD x 4.39mm ID

    * Rolex Twin Lock #700

    * Thread- 90

    * Crown fits Tube- 4.39 inside crown

    * Height- 4.39mm x 3.40mm x 3.68mm

    So is this thing a twinlock or a triplock??? I see 3 dots underneath the crown.... I'm confused. Also what TUBE do I need to use for this one to fit [gen or aftermarket]? Will I need a new stem as well? I plan on installing it on a TW Best TT Sub, here are the pics:

    It has an ETA 2892 if it's of any help.

    Thanks for your help guys! :)

    **BTW does that crown seem gen to you? I'm having suspicions it might be fake, but it feels 'heavy' like gold...

    What I wanted to ooint out is that the M16 and the G3 are designed for different combat scenarios. The G3 will punch a hole in a 10mm steel plate from 200m distance and it could break a cast-iron or aluminum engine block on the same distance. Try that with 5,56 Remington! The G3 is a weapon designed for open areas while the M16 is more practical for closer distances man to man combat due to its weight adn handyness.

    If you compare the G36 or a Steyr AUG with a design from the 1960s (M16) or the 1970s (G3) there are 2 different worlds, they just don

    Not wrong, 7,92x57mm is the same as 8x57IS.

    The 1905 pattern cartridge was the German service cartridge in both World Wars and is now known in Europe as the 7.92x57mm IS or the 8x57mm IS and in the USA as the 8 mm Mauser or 8x57mm JS (it was its widespread use in Mauser rifles that earned this cartridge its "Mauser" tag, though Mauser only chambered it in its rifles and did not develop the cartridge).

    Ok you got me on that one, same cartridge. Different head though. :p

    Now you are comparing what the book says to real life experience? I can assure you, noone except a trained sharpshooter will hit a man-sized target on 550m distance with the regular M16/G3 sight.

    Effective range is not only determined by the caliber, its also determined by the sight you use. And both weapons lack a proper sight for combat beyond 200m

    Why are you taking this so personal? lol, you're waaaay too serious on this. I'm merely posting the effective range on what the Manufacturer states ;) so, whatever.

    Never ever does this weapon have an effective range of 800m! I was trained with that rifle and the effective range is 400m and not more (with the integrated scope). Of course, you might hit something at 800m (I once hit a moving man-sized target), but its very very unlikely.

    When you#re in the infrantry, they ALWAYS teach you to never ever shoot at such a high distance. 200-300m is the best distance with strandard infantry assault rifles.

    The Arctic Warfare Magnum has an effective range of about 800-900m and thats a sniper rifle! But no

    Again, you're taking it too personal <_< . Effective range doesn't mean much unless it's int he right hands, and that's what matters the most, I'm simply quoting what H&K says, if it doesn't well too bad, combats are engaged usually less than 200m on each side, usually, everything is so variable, wind can drastically change everything on the bullets trajectory and damage, so meh. Also the Barrett M82A1 has an effective range of 1,000m but it's what the manufacturer states, again, too many variables, but on perfect conditions it would be possible. So meh, whatever. :rolleyes:

    The Mg 42 used the caliber 8x57. It was followed by the MG3 that is based on the same desigh but converted to NATO caliber 7,62 which is same as .308 Winchester. And yes, that one is designed to do ugly things.

    However, an assault rifle is usually designed for a certain purpose nd a certain way of use. The M16 is rather light and handy while the HK G3 is heaviy but much more efficient on longer distances. The AK47 by the way is based on the desigh of the german Sturmgewehr 44 (assault riffle designed in 1944) which furtunately never seriously came into use and was limited to airborne units due to low production numbers.

    By the way, do you know of the MDW? This is the German military "Material destroying weapon", a 20mm tactical snier rifle for use against lightly armored vehicles and aircrafts.

    WRONG. :bangin:

    MG-42:

    Caliber: 7.92x57

    The M16 is rather light and handy while the HK G3 is heaviy but much more efficient on longer distances.

    Wrong again! ^_^

    G3's effective range [G3A3]: 500m

    M16A2's effective range: 550m

    If it were up to me I'd go with a G36 [standard], it's lightweight, extremely reliable, and has an effective range of 800m! It's also SEXY!

    Have you ever shot 7.62mm? I can saw a leg off with our 7.62 machine gun! it was so feared among americans, they called it "hitler's bonesaw"

    "So distinct and terrifying was the weapon, that the United States Army created training films to aid its soldiers in dealing with the psychological trauma of facing the weapon in battle."

    The feared Maschinengewehr 42 :p , is that the one you're talking about? I think it uses a 7.92mm cartridge though. I've shot a deer with an Arsenal AK [sLR-107] and it left a nice ''clean'' hole [if you don't count all the blood ;)], I won't argue over that bullet, it's damn powerful compared to the 5.56mm, I'm just saying either one of those calibers [5.56 & 7.62] are equally deadly and I definitely wouldn't enjoy getting hit by neither one of them [or any bullet while at it]! ^_^

    What about fighting using AR-15 against some AK in 15 meters of distance?

    Or using a 7,62mm in the middle of the streets?

    another one

    BOPE

    ??? A 5.56mm round is just as deadly as a 7.62mm round, it's not all about the bullet caliber it's how well you aim and where you manage to shoot your opponent. ;)

    Take the U.S. Forces in Iraq for example, they're kicking ass with the M4/M16 over the AK's/G3/FAL the insurgents are using. B)

    Actually i dont really know LOL I just wanted to blow off some steam about Americans LOL. I have met a few nice Americans I must say but it seems like most of them have this ego about everyone else in the world. But if I had to guess I would say the UK because I am from a British Overseas territories Island lol..

    You know, when you say "American" you do realize you're referring to the continent right? Which includes north, Central and South America, so specify the damn country next time [although I realize you're speaking of the U.S.]. Either way, what's with the hate towards the guys in the U.S.?! Don't you have anything better to do than to [censored] and moan about a country? I mean seriously, what the hell, this is the same country that helped you guys in WW2, let me rephrase that, Saved your ass in WW2. Talk about being ungrateful. Why don't you [censored] and moan instead of Islamic extremists, PETA and terrorists? Makes much more sense.

    Congrats on the wedding! Nothing says elegance like Patek Philippe, I'd personally go for the Nautilus [burnt Blue] non MBW version.

    But if you're looking for something else this Vacheron Constantine wins! :

    For $108 it's not bad at all!

    The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in blue is really beautiful and it's small enough to wear with a Tuxedo [also available in white, black, TT, FG] and it's very elegant:

    If you're going Rolex get a Day-Date, they're very elegant and just perfect for the occasion, I personally think this one will suit you perfectly, clean and elegant stick markers in white MOP:
