boneventura Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi all, I'd like to replace the crown and tube on my 3717 with gen. I see different sizes on the bay. Does anyone know the right one? Thnx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhorn Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 My 3717's rep crown appears to be 6mm. Might want to check with concepta as he sells gen parts for IWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 i thought the crown was pretty spot on, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 same mine, the engraving is not very detailed bad luck i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Alves Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 same mine, the engraving is not very detailed bad luck i guess dont think is bad luck, the rep crowns cannot be compared to the gen in terms of detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 correct, but mine is particularly bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Alves Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 correct, but mine is particularly bad had the oportunity to measure both. Dont have a digital caliper, so using a normal one i would say gen is about 5.9 - 6 mm and rep slightly smaller maybe around 5.8 - 5.9 mm There is a quality difference between both and since the groves on the gen are more pronunced, it fells a bit bigger than the rep. sorry for the bad quility pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boneventura Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Ahh thank you Hugo! That's why I love this forum! BTW: anyone who did get an answer form Concepta lately?
