panerai153 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Contemplating another project (I really need psychiatric help!!) maybe a Tudor Big crown or a 6538. i was wondering about the crowns, it looks like there are several on the market, Yuki,NDT, maybe others. Who has the best, most accurate crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not really relevant to the discussion, but this particular image in the auction listing made me ROFL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Does anybody know what size tap to use for this crown? Boy, you sure have to hope it's the 3.0mm x .35 tap which is standard for all of the 6mm and 7mm tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have been looking around for this tap. Any recommendation where I can buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way that the tube for this thing is going to be the same diameter as a standard 7030. The stem is the usual tap 10 size... And look how big the barrel is around the base for the stem. Compare to a 7mm: Granted, the pic is of an aftermarket 702, the sizes are the same as gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I will go and measure mine now .... 3.95mm diameter and 3.5mm for 10 rings of the thread. So I am assuming you need a 4.0mm 0.35 tap Experts can you please confirm that and maybe also tell us: WHERE WE CAN BUY IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 If I recall correctly it's a Tap 7 which should be 1.2mm Oops - i thought you were talking stem size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The 7mm Rolex Brevet Crown tube I got from Davidsen measures 3.8mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Went tap hunting today and found the 3mmx.35 and the 4mmx.35 (for the 8mm crown, I took it with me and had them measure it), I found them at Dewitt Tools, 6550 NW 72nd Avenue, Miami, 305-8881450.
