$tingray Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Waiting for a Clark top-hat, CG shaved, wabi to case and bezel completed. The finall thing to solve is to find a better crown, the one that comes on the watch is little too fat. So I'm trying to source a better AM, Any tips were I can find one? Have a great day!

panerai153 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I would spring for the genuine. It's not too pricy, and they are available on the parts forum here from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$tingray Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Expert help needed. Could the crown in this AD be an alternative for my 1680? (Dont know what crown WM9 uses on their YM) Crown nr1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnBeever Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I agree, I normally try and use rep parts. The main exception being crowns. There is no comparison between a rep crown and a gen crown in terms of appearance, quality, smoothness of operation and watertightness.

w0lf Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've read somewhere on this board that Cousin's tube is not much better than rep in quality. I'd probably get one from Ofrei, eWatchparts or Yuki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0lf Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Shawn, Well, I think it's safe to say that with 20 tube installs luck has nothing to do with it. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
