Which crown tube for Breitling SA?

[shultz]

Already posted this over on repgeek:

The crown on my Super SA (latest version) doesn't screw in properly. I am not really sure whether the crown thread or the tube is down. Actually it feels like the tube would be too short so that the crown thread isn't getting any contact to the tube thread. I found a link to cousins uk showing different crowns and tubes: http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/661/1975.aspx

Does somebody know which tube will fit into my SA?

Thanks a lot!

No sorry, but would like to know that too? Is there a reference chart somewhere for beitling models?

SA tubes are part of the mid case on SA reps and cannot be replaced. Instead a new mid case and rep crown needs to be sourced. The problem is typically a bent tube at the time of initial assembly that causes a stripping of both the crown and tube. This is one of the many ways the Chinese replica is inferior to the genuine A TD should be able to get you a replacement case set for about $250.
