bobandshawn Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi guys, I recently purchased what I think is a pretty nice 16710 in a M2M deal. I know the CG's need a little work, other than that I think all it needs is a gen crown. Here is the original sales thread. Can anyone identify it and suggest what gen crown to get that might work (tube?). Comments and observations are welcome and appreciated! ~B http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/sho...6710-SWISS-ETA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 My little chart says the gen has a 24-603 crown and a 24-5330 tube. but the rep could easily be a 24-600 crown and a 24-6000 tube- you'll just have to take it apart and see! The 24-5330 tube takes a 2.5mm hole and the 24-6000 tube takes a 3.0mm hole in the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the correct tap is a M3x0.35 tap. This would imply a drill bit size of 2.6mm, not 3.0mm. But then again, I don't recall ever installing a gen 6000 tube.

alligoat Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 With the 3.0mm x .35 tap, the correct hole size that I read about was a 2.65mm hole. So yes it's not a full 3.0mm hole. Same with the 2.5mm tap, the starter hole needs to be smaller. In B&S's case he just needs to figure out which case tube was used and go from there- if it's the smaller, he can go with gen spec, if it's larger, he'll need to stay with the 3.0mm case tube, unless he fills the hole and redrills and retaps, but that hardly seems worth the effort.

bobandshawn Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Looks like the 603 is the consensus amongst the fora. Anyone have any leads on one? Thank you! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Supposedly Athaya is working on one but that doesn't help you right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandshawn Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Snagged a gen from Stonep. Thanks for the answers guys... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Im pretty sure the gen takes a 5.3mm crown. Same as ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 The genuine 1675 takes a 5.3mm crown, the 16710 takes a 6mm crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
