Drulee Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 So we should just use some Loctite and wind lightly until the first sign of resistance? Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) So we should just use some Loctite and wind lightly until the first sign of resistance? Good to know. may you misunderstood... when you install the new crown on the stem... you need to screw it in strong on the stem... or the crown will not fit tight enough on the stem... but please don´t wind the crown tooooooo strong... some guys wind it like hell... but this crowns are very sensetive and the crown tube can break... the crown tube is very thinn (because the spring mechanism need to much room). On the genuine is the crown tube thicker and more stable. Also, the older T48 crowns are more stable because no spring mechanism and more stable crown tube. But the new spring loaded crowns are very sensetive with thinn crown tube... be careful! Edited August 28, 2010 by t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 T how would these go over time when on a 6497 movement being constantly handwound.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Shouldn't be a problem for me then, I always wind it with slow steady turns so that I can feel that first sign of resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 T how would these go over time when on a 6497 movement being constantly handwound.? this will be no problem... because you will not wind the crown after the resistant (full power reserve)... but when you install the crown you will screw it in very very strong and here could the crown tube break if you press it like a hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
