prdubis Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hi there, My PAM24A and 25D have been updated with T48SL crowns... I don't remember the crown was sitting so low...I can hardly wind the watch or turn the crown from the upperside... Is it the same on yours? Have a look at the pic: Thank you for your help!

PeteM Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 If you see ST4s thread here you can see his and a few other guys all have the same issue with their 24s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thank you for your answer, mate... That's a terrible flaw for me (( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Unfortunately all of his 24/25 models have the same flaw with the crown position. Including misshapen lugs the low sitting crown has been one of my biggest pet peeves of his latest Subs, so gave them a pass. The movement and dial sit almost a full 1mm lower inside the case when compared to a gen 24/25. Not sure why exactly but my guess is his case maker had a bit of a challenge with the bezel construct. Remember both of his 24 and 25 models were delayed for few months because of incorrect teeth count as well as some case construction challenges. It is likely that his 24/25 xtals are also thicker than the gen ones (it's only 2.5mm thick on the gen, so thinner than xtal on historics/manuals)...who really knows the real reason...

prdubis Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 And what about the cartel version of the pam24? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 And what about the cartel version of the pam24? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk If you're after an early 24 Sub model with polished bezel and no hash marks - not great. Also, cartel 24 in general comes with its own issues. The crown position is correct, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asheron82 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 just curious, would a crystal off an ultimate 199 fit a dsn 24/25 caseset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0lf Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 A small correction, B - OEM 24/25 sub crystals are 3.5mm thick. The only crystals thinner than 3.5mm are on chrono models (2mm) and some 40mm PR models (2.5mm). Special edition 1km & 2.5km subs are 5mm+ thick with a monster 194 at 5.9mm thick.

babola Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Well brother W...if you want to split hairs all the 44mm PR models also come with 2.5mm xtals ... Edited January 12, 2011 by babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justlounging Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 is this flaw fixable? am thinking of getting a dsn 25a with all the reviews from RWI and RG..never knew abt this issue though.. *edit: my first post!!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheron82 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yep it does thanks for the headsup! A small correction, B - OEM 24/25 sub crystals are 3.5mm thick.

Special edition 1km & 2.5km subs are 5mm+ thick with a monster 194 at 5.9mm thick. wow thanks for the detailed breakdown on all the available xtals, might consider replacing the xtal on the dsn 24A with an ultimate one.
