cougaree Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi guys, Will these genuine parts fit the rep tube? Or should I replace the tube as well? I'm not much of a Rollie guy, I'd appreciate your comments. The watch I have is a Noob ceramic mariner with clone 3135 movement. The current crown has weak spring in it. 24-703-0 for ss 24-703-8 for gold Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 You've got the right part numbers for the gen crowns. All you can do is remove the current crown and stem and see if a gen will fit on the existing tube. But for best results, I'd install a gen tube or one of the good aftermarket tubes. That way you're assured of a good tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I see. Thanks! Should I assume the existing stem on the rep 3135 will fit onto the gen crown without any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Today I finally tried to mount the gen crown. The crown fits the rep tube and with tight fit (not sure how well the WR is though). However, I can't get the gen crown to mount to the stem. The stem seemed slight bigger than the hole on the gen crown. What should I do? Thanks!

cougaree Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Tried today with a brand new ETA stem, the Rolex crown fits perfectly. I think the original stem from Asian clone 3135 is slightly too large. Now I just need to install a Clark tube... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
