JohnCocktosten Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I bought a large lot of parts off of Ebay for $20 to scrounge an Omega part I saw in the bunch. The goody bag had 5 identical Rolex crowns like below included. Doesn't fit the 703 tube and has threads about half way up on the inside. I assume a 702? Thanks in advance.

Justasgood Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yep. 702 has threads starting at the opening. 703 has threads inside toward the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Nice find! If you've got 5 or so... Any interest in selling one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 A couple have the expected dings and I need to check the springs and that I can screw a stem in. PM me your address and I'll send one to you if they aren't crap. BTW, is there an aftermarket tube available? People are very proud of their gen tubes.

ubiquitous Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Gen tubes are quite difficult to find; especially in NOS condition sealed in the little blister pack! Some ridiculous money being asked for those... As for aftermarket; marsupilami has some that he had made. Quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah, I bought from him and used on another project with a crown I actually paid for so I guess I'll go to the well again...... Haven't seen a Clark or Yuki or anything in other than 703 and just wondered if they were out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Looks 702 to me as well, if you are interested in selling one let me know also please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I would be intersted in one also!! I;ll give you $20 to cover the cost of your whole package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 702 crowns are still pretty easy to find. It's the other part that's a [censored] to locate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 JaW has some gen 702 crown tubes price is $200+ one sold on the bay last night in decent condition with the accompanying crown for $23...and i was out at dinner. marsup' is the only aftermarket ones ive seen, own one myself, its very decent. im personally going to go vintage 703 crown, better water tightness and you can get an original tube for little money.
