nick1972 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hello Guys, I hope you can help me. I bought a Rolex 702 crown and it wil not fit my 702(I have several 702 tubes) tube. The weird thing is, it's a triplock crown and it fits a 700 tube? Did Rolex made a triplock crown for the Twinlock tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I don't believe this '702' crown is really genuine. Compare it to your other 702 and 703; look at the coronet and the underside of the crown splines. It doesn't look right to me (your other 702 and 703 are correct).

nick1972 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 That's not so good news, I paid 60 euro for it. Mailed the seller for an explanation. Thanks Ubi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 On the underside of the crown... These details really stand out to me: And of course, the coronet on the top of the crown. That and the Triplock dots on a crown that only fits a Twinlock tube... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I agree with Ubi - the '702' on the right is an aftermarket (fake) part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1972 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks guys, Didn't know a replica 702 crown and tube excisted. Here is another picture from the crown and tube it came with. It looks like a 702 tube but the barrel is a bit shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Look at the shape of the coronet... Definitely no where near as crisp or defined as the gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
