Help with sourcing tube and crystal for a cheap 1016 replica


Recommended Posts

Posted

Over three years ago I ordered a custom made 1016 from Silix. Installed an ETA 2846 slow beat movement, but haven't got around finishing the project.

 

I am looking for a crown+ tube ,as the older one got damaged and lost.

A 2.90mm OD crown does not fit the case. Is there a smaller size available?

As for the crystal, the information appears in the photos:

Thank you in advance.

Chances are a genuine spec 6.0mm aftermarket case tube and used genuine crown will work. If the case is drilled for a 5.3mm case tube you will have to use a late model 6.0mm crown like used on modern sapphire DJ with a 5.3mm case tube.

I don't think a T-21 or a T-22 will work for you- I just measured a T-21 with an ID of the crystal of 28.12mm. Seems like T-22 was similar- maybe thicker on the OD.

Last time I was trying to find a replacement for a rep crystal, I found the SternKruz section of the CousinsUK online catalog to be helpful.

Excellent. Thank you all for your help with the crystal.

I will order a T-21 and T-22 and also look into the SternKruz catalog.

 

Is it possible to purchase a 2.5mm case tube for a reasonable price, and if so, where?
