fitmic Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have a 2836 fitted into a UPO and planning on upgrading it with gen tube and crown. So my question is whether the existing stem would fit the gen crown without modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Only issue you may run into is the length of your stem. If the receiving end inside the crown is a different depth between rep and gen you may find your stem to be either too long or too short. If too long easy enough to adjust down if too short you will need a new stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks for the replies my friends. Is epoxy safe to use when mounting the tube to the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I heard it is not the best method but I did with success several times. It should be ok, as long as you install the tube properly and apply a sufficient quantity of epoxy. The more difficult part for me was to remove the rep tube from the case (difficulty varies a lot from watch to watch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
