Tudor crown tube

[offshore]

I have just received a Tudor, from the 1960's- marked "Tudor Prince Oysterdate- Rotor self winding" on the dial.

Its running a 2462 movement.

It has a stripped crown tube and I am looking to replace it, however I need an ID first.

It looks to measure 3.7mm outside.

the only further ID on the watch is a number between the lugs which is almost indiscernable but its 57???7. I ma guessing this may be a serial.

There is another number between the other lugs but it is unreadable.

The case back is marked."Original Oyster case by Rolex Geneva"

Hoping someone here has there head around this one and may be able to ID the part or even better point me at one.

The crown has the typical Rolex symbol with a dash under. Think its OK in the thread.

Thanks,

Offshore

For the 60's...s/b a twin lock tube for a 5.3 mm crown.

Some quickie photos.

Hope that assists.

That looks like a 5.3mm twinlock... available anywhere.

Are you sure that's a 2462 movement, and not a 2461? I've been searching out a 2461 for over a year.

I'd be willing to trade a very nice and remarkably strong 2784 for it.........

Nanug,

I'd be happy to trade....however I think the owner of the watch, who has had it from new, may get a little pissed!

If it's a 34mm case I think it should be a 5.3...
