flyback Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 I was browsing the bay looking for a rlx sub 7mm crown and tube when i saw this set: http://cgi.ebay.fr/Rolex-SUBMARINER-5513-1...VQQcmdZViewItem What do you think? Real or rep? Thanks for your replies...
hk45ca Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 the tube seems to be finished nicely but with out a shot from the end i can't be sure. gen will have teeth for installing and removeing. maybe somebody with more experiance will have a better idea about it than i.
Jetsons Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 They are rep crown & tubes. I almost fell for the same trap but was saved by Ubi. Good thing you asked before taking the plunge.
ubiquitous Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Oli bought some of those. The image depicts a genuine set, but what he ended up receiving was a rep crown and tube. Not recommended.

Guest avitt Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 That tube looks like the one that Helfands used to sell. If this package sold at replica prices, it might make a nice alternative for those who don't want to invest in genuine parts.
flyback Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 May you have a web link or a name of a trusted ebay seller to be sure to buy REAL crown and tube? What is the average price for a new or second hand triplock crown/ tube? Thanks!
ubiquitous Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 I wouldn't bother with those in the auction at all. Especially at $48.00. A big waste of money... When I get gen crowns in bulk, I'll sell them for anywhere from $18 - $25 per (depending on how large the lot is). You can get a good, high quality aftermarket tube for $25. So, $25 for the crown and $25 for the tube... You're right at the same price and with a genuine crown. That, to me is a better buy

Bodo Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 I offer crown and tube sets in the parts section They are from original manufacturers - from that point they´re gen, They were bought in bulk, so they´re not in rolex labeled single blister pack - from that point they´re not gen... They are top quality and match Rolex specs - long shaft tube and so on. Everyone having bought them by now was satisfied.
