A generic submariner crown?

[Timelord]

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

Most of the watch parts houses sell generic 7mm crowns that fit standard stems.Try ofrei.com.

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.

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

Oops. Forgot that one! Probably an even better choice than O Frei.

The only problem he may experience is the shipping cost and if there is a minimum number that he may need to order.  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
