chibiunko Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 LOL @ Crown I have a question, for an untrained eye like mine, that insert + Pearl looks pretty damn good for a rep. Any experts want to chime in and share your knowledge about the insert and the pearl compared to Gen fat font insert with a tritium pearl? I recently acquired a Gen 1680 with the wrong skinny font insert, but paying $400 for a Gen Fat Font with a Pearl is a bit out of my price range at the moment. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 that inserts not bad. i actually got lucky and scored a gen unused fat font insert with tritium pearl for $90 a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 The crown is not good but the CG is worst, it is tiny that's why the crown looks so high...It's a know problem with cartel vintage rolex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 "What the hell??? Did the rep factories make the crown tips even longer now? It looks like you have a mountain top in between your CGs lol." It's a guide for a pneumatic lug wrench...like NASCAR lug nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Replacing with a gen crown will certainly help, but the short stubby Case guards are a problem. Tapering them will help. It's easy to take away metal, but darn hard to put on, unless you are an accomplished laser welder!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Adding a gen 703 helps.... But adding a narrow, gen 702 is the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Here it is, First thing that will disapear real quick as soon I will get this watch. I have a 1680 single red with the same problem. Which type crown are you going to fit, are you going to change the tube also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yes, you will need to change the tube if you add a gen or gen style crown. Thinking of fitting a TC crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will show asap (just busy right now) how I add metal, I have made experiments, result is 100% good, no necessary to use TIG, MIG or laser, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
