dutchguy2 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 OK, the title say's it all. I have 1 gen crown plus Clark tube but I have 3 watches that still have rep crowns. 1. 1665 GW (will get a re-lume real soon). PT, ETA 2846 (serviced), gen T-39. 2. 1680. MBW, Re-lumed, GC shaved, lugs drilled. 3. 6263 PN. Spinmaster build with 7760, gen T-21. Group shot. Please let me know what you would do. Thanks for looking.
freddy333 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 The SD's too-thick crown is the most obvious fake, so which do YOU think would benefit most?

Cats Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 I think all of them will benifit from a gen crown (and tube) imo. But as freddy already mentioned the crown on the GW is way too big. Btw Andy did a nice relume job on your 1680 , ilike it alt it's a little more white as mine. Carpe Diem Cats
dutchguy2 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Thank you for your responses. It is a 703 crown and I am of understanding it will fit all 3. I think that, after the relume, the 1665 will become my daily beater. And since this has a very thick crown it would be the best candidate. However it could bring the 6263 to the next level and since I need to handwind it I would benefit from a gen crown every day I wind it. I have a clark 127 for the 1680 and with the gen crown it could bring it to a next level too. So in short, I need two more gen crowns
panerai153 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 I would definitely start with the 1665. That PT crown is a standout flaw. Very nice watch that would be much nicer with a genuine crown. If you are patient, you can get some fairly reasonable deals on genuine crowns both here and on the vintage Rolex market.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 no, they actually dont look bad, which is why i was wondering.
