mellons Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 does anyone know of a 6mm diam rolex crown that will accept a 6497 stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Off the top of my head, no. Most 6497 stems are tap 6; Rolex uses tap 10 crowns and stems. You could, in theory take a 6497 stem and have it turned down and threaded to fit a tap 10 crown however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 That's because the stems are hardened and annealed. But it can be done; I've had 6497 stems turned down by Zigmeister to fit gen Panerai auto crowns; he does do it on a lathe, however...
