Clint Eastwood Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hello all, i buy a DW kit from David and recently a vj72 movement that i have yet put on it, all was OK , hands , dial, but it seems impossible to screw the winding stem on the crown , winding stem seem to be too thick for the screw hole in the crown. someone have the same problem ? what can i do for this ? i was OK for a real rlex crown but all i see on ebay seem to have a too small hole on crown to put it in place. Thanks a lot for your help!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sounds like you have a Tap 6 stem. You need a Tap 10 for the Rolex crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Eastwood Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 OK , thanks for your answer, i was sure that it will be you who can answer my question. Whats the difference between tap 10 and tap 6 ? is just the tap 10 who is more thin that the 6 ? if i found a tap 10 it will be OK with the movement ?no difference ? and of course if you can tell me where i can find this i will be so happy Thanks again a lot Ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Tap 10 is the size of the threads on the stem which screws into the crown. Your stem w/ Tap 6 is larger as you've already found out. The standard size on Rolex and most reps (as far as I know) is Tap 10. There is a guy who sells V72 stems w/ a Tap 10 maybe up in Colorado, maybe his name is Michael Griffin, and I can't remember his company name. You might check w/ avitt, he's the other v72 expert along w/ ubi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
