Ronin Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Anyone know off the top of their heads the correct part number for: SS Tube for 1675 (GMT) SS Crown for 1675 (GMT) 1970's era, but curious as to the "current" service replacement part numbers. TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 crown #24-600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Are you sure it's not the 5.3mm? Mine is visibly smaller than the one on my 6536. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Depending on which case you use. Gen case : tube #24-5320 crown #24-530-0 However: Cartel 1:1 1655 case I used a gen tube #24-5320 and a #24-600-0 crown, because of the 1655 having space for a 6mm crown between the guards. I also tried a gen 530, but it looks way too small. This is 1655 case with gen 600 crown Edited December 2, 2011 by Akira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Akira - how did you manage to install the gen tube ? did it fit the case ? thx Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Frank, I can't tell you if any modding was necessary....Rolexaddict assembled the watch and installed the tube. Worth sending a PM his way. This is the best I can do with the cam I have at my place right now. Just a quick shot of the gen crown/tube and the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star69 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 thanks - looks perfect - i had the problem that the gen tube was too small for the case - i have a new watch on the way and hope it fits this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 thanks - looks perfect - i had the problem that the gen tube was too small for the case - i have a new watch on the way and hope it fits this time Best of luck My crown screws in perfectly. Huge difference to the rep crown/tube. But also a lot smaller in appearance to the rep tube with gen crown. I was told by the Rolex parts seller people often use a #24-533-0 tube which appears to be incorrect for a 1675. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nanuq is correct. Gen (ss) 1675s came fitted with a 24-530 crown & corresponding 24-5330 tube. Whether these will fit a particular rep case, I cannot answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks, and this is for a GEN case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nanuq is correct. Gen (ss) 1675s came fitted with a 24-530 crown & corresponding 24-5330 tube. Whether these will fit a particular rep case, I cannot answer. Could it be there are two 24-5330 tubes then? One for the GMT and one that isn't? I thought my dealer said 24-5320 but I'm not sure anymore....he definitely said about one of the 24-5330 tubes that it isn't fitting a 1675 case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 From some more surfing, the 24-5330 that F33 mentioned appears correct. 24-5320 seems to keep coming up for "ladies" DJ's, or possibly pre-70's models that may need broached inside to accept the crown.

jmb Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm not sure about the 5.3 tube but there are 2 6mm tubes. The "new" style tube screws into the same hole as the 7mm tube while the "old" style goes into a smaller hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 "...how did you manage to install the gen tube ? did it fit the case ?" All 1675 came with 5.3mm tubes and crowns. All 1655 came with 6.0mm tubes and crowns. Modern (sapphire DJ etc) with 6.0mm crowns use a 5.3mm case tube so you can put a modern 6.0mm crown on a 5.3mm case tube. Submariner 7.0mm case tubes have the same threads (where they screw into the case) as standard 6.0mm case tubes. 5.3mm case tube threads are 2.5mm x .25mm where they screw into the case 6.0mm/7.0mm case tube threads are 3.0mm x .35mm where they screw into the case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have a tube that is supposed to be for the older style. It measures 2.9mm on the case end (it fits the cartel 16710 case) with an external gasket, and 3.9 on the crown end, which fits the 5.3mm crown I have. I don't know what Rolex part number is, but I'd sure like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
