prdubis Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 What do you think of this crown guard? Looks great, quite thick, but for which kind of PAM would it be correct? Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 You really need to see the profile of it to determine which series it is good for, but either way that CG pin needs flattening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yes, the pin is totally wrong! I will shoot pics of profile and post them later today, thak you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Showing the profile will help us determine what generation watch it's suited for. But showing the stub of the lever will help us determine a far more important thing - whether it's really good for anything other than this watch it's attached to. As far as I can tell from this pic (looking at the pin cap finish and the crown) it appears to be an older cartel CG, which is really great if you can take care of the pin and wobble in the lever. It's the 2nd runner up for the best PreA-F CG out of the box, first being of course the JimmyzFu CG. But I will need in-focus macro pictures of the CG to make the final judgement.

babola Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not bad, but not the best one out there. As Wolf mentioned above, this is a cartel rep CG, thin kind to fit A - F series. However it will have to be re-polished to be made little more 'fitting' for the correct series. I wouldn't use it on anything G-series onwards, but that's I guess up to you to decide The cartel 'thin' rep CGs came in two versions, good polished one with narrower lever to fit nicely inside the CG lever groove (older one from '05-'07 period), and the newer slightly oversized one (but still thin kind) rep factories used for 111/112H series reps instead of the correct thick 'flared' one. Your seems to have the latter, however it appears that it uses the lever from the former one, judging by the unsightly side-profile cavity inside the CG around the lever when closed . Either that or they over-zealously drilled the CG lever-cavity on this one, at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
