Timelord Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I am trying to locate a quality generic stainless steel crown to fit onto my genuine submariner tube and would appreciate if anyone can direct me where to purchase one that would accommodate the threads of the tube??? I was thinking of getting a second hand genuine one, but on 2nd thoughts, considered in getting a new ss generic. Thanks for any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 You don't say which Submariner crown and tube you have. If you're looking for a 703, TC has a decent rep crown that will fit on the 7030 tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not being specific as in asking for generic replacement, I wasn't all that fussed about the nitty gritty 1-1 details. It is one to replace one of Josh's mid of the road submariners with a sapphire crystal. I just needed it to seal/close it properly as it is a replica that has typical giveaway signs to be a replica. I had a quality one made of stainless steel where you could actually feel the way it closed and opened to be like one from a genuine Seiko or Tissot standard, but I don't recall where I got it from. Tube had threads on both sides as well, but crown had no logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Oops. Forgot that one! Probably an even better choice than O Frei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be cheaper and perhaps more feasible to buy a genuine crown and tube in the end. I purchased a good second hand genuine in great condition on ebay a couple of years ago for $US70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
