Prsist Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Fast shipping from the bay! They look good and now I think I will search for the DIY crown swap mod and give it a go. Not sure I would call it a mod but opening the caseback is the extent of my attempts. Worst case is I send the uncompleted job in when she goes in for servcing.

Mapman57 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 From jewellerstools by any chance? Makes a world of difference to the watch when combined with reshaped CG's - good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkwbkw Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 What pretties are these crowns going onto? Just note that you may have to countersink and retap your case. Then you may have to shorten your stem just a hair too. If you want to sell one to recoup your costs, PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 arent these for modern models? not the 1665 as the 703 came in two varieties of style despite sharing the same model ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Be careful removing the stem from your movement so you dont mess up the keyless works... use nothing but a 1.2mm screwdriver. That is the most important part of your swap. Be sure to read the tutorials here a couple times over to make sure you know the process. Its not difficult, but there are some important things you will need to know as you go along. dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
