Need help on a weird crown

[nick1972]

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?

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).

That's not so good news, I paid 60 euro for it.

Mailed the seller for an explanation.

Thanks Ubi.

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...

I agree with Ubi - the '702' on the right is an aftermarket (fake) part.

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.

Look at the shape of the coronet... Definitely no where near as crisp or defined as the gen...
