A rep gen question

[FxrAndy]

Does this crown pos look correct?

[freddy333]

Looks ok, but hard to tell from that angle. Can you get a pic of the crown head-on or like this

[bruce79]

Tough angle but that looks like a 702 trip lock crown. I don't think there are reps of the 702.

[Dizzy]

Like Freddy says its hard to tell from that angle... but it does look EXACTLY like my MBW1680 when I look at it from the same angle as the pic.... the crown doesnt matter because we all know you can put a gen crown and tube on just about any Submariner case.

Bezel looks MBW, and it could be the lighting, but the datewheel is very 'dark' silver.

Crystal and Crown = Gen.

Lug holes look drilled, lacking taper. (Again, could be from angle, or case buffings)

[FxrAndy]

Another one

At this angle it looks a little better but still low

This is for sale on TZ UK, have a look dubvios story too, the only thing that looks odd is the crown pos, but that is about the hardest thing to change on an MBW case (i only know one person who has welded the hole and redrilled it to the correct height)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and also look at the droop at the bottom of the crown guards

Any one got an unmodded MBW that can photo the droop at the bottom of thre CGs and a gen to compare

I would say this is a franken with an MBWcase heavily vintageised and I HOPE NO ONE FROM HERE

[freddy333]

Crown position looks fine to me.

[FxrAndy]

borrowed a pic from giletos new 5512 MBW

[freddy333]

It may be ok. Here is a gen I found in my archives

When it rains, it pours. Here is another gen

Damn i had been using droop cgs as a tell for ages, i spent ages reshaping mine to get rid of them, maybe it is ok

It appears so.
