seafoam Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I FOLLOWED MICKEY PADGE'S LEAD AND DECIDED TO INSTALL A T48 CROWN TO MY 27A. THE ORIGINAL CROWN WAS A BIT WEAK. THIS IMO IS WAS A MUCH NEEDED UPGRADE. THANKS TO MICKEY PADGE FOR THE INSTALL TIP . VERY HELPFUL. SEAFOAM PS. I'M NOT YELLING I JUST LIKE TO TYPE IN UPPERCASE.

bwhitesox Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks good, Did you need to modify Davidsens crownguard to fit the deeper dish of the T48.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notenoughbikes Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks great. I just ordered a T48 Crown for my DSN 027B to do the same thing. Did you use Mickey's paperclip solution? If so, can you describe exactly how you did it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, can you describe exactly how you did it. Thanks! thanks. i actually used the tip of an old rolex sub stem and sunk it into the T48 center and vuala. it worked. you need to be able to tighten the crown good and tight so it wont unscrew when adjusting the time/date/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I thought I'd add some comparison photos: Before (DSN's photo) After: Gen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hehe, very nice, I want to put this watch back on my wrist again now! Any small metal filing will work, it only needs to be 1mm or so in size..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, i think I'll have mine on for a while. It's the new favorite. True on the filing tip Mickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
