usmctowgnr Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I purchased this watch and am on the never ending road of modifying it. I was told when I purchased the watch that the crown and tube were gen. I have no reason not to beleive the seller but thought I would get everyones opion as I keep coming across posts on the 24-702 crown and am more unsure of mine. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 1024x768 will suffice in future. Crown looks aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Rep crown. Things to note: 1) Overall shape of the coronet 2) Crispness of the coronet 3) Triplock dots Compare to gen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 NOT GEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmctowgnr Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sorry about the size, I did not make it any bigger. That is what is attached as. I will pay more attention in the future. I thought it looked suspect. Makes me wonder about the crystal being gen as well. Oh well, another item to add to my list of upgrades, lol. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Not to worry, we have all learned (mostly the hard way) the meaning of buy the seller before you buy the watch (or watch part). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 The one tell I see is the top face is curved rather than flat. Another tell is the top face's edge is not sharp enough. Look at Ubi's pic, you can easily observe the edge being very sharp/well defined. You can also see the flat top face and sharp edge/transition from this side view of a gen crown -bk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillorin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Looks like the crowns that came stock on vintage MBW's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
