Jetsons Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm sure Pam OEM crowns are expensive and even more difficult to source but it looks terrific. Great work, The Zigmeister! Looking forward to the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I managed to get it all together tonight, and took some various pictures. I expect to post them tomorrow. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Rob, of course fabulous work. Can't wait to see it fully reassembled. And for those you who thought I was nuts to buy these crowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 By the way Warren my crown is not like this.. It does not have two rubbers (and the main one) but One rubber and the main one.. Probably mine is from later years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Two gaskets is more contemporary version. Most likely your bevel is less as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotersf Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Good God that looks great! did you install a new datewheel or is that chieftang's cyclops. i'm giving up on finepics datewheel but an OEM crown and jimmy crown guard looks amazing. anyone know where to get these parts?

Watchmeister Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Parts: Cyclops - Watchmen (still available, perfect for the 2893's) They are correct 6mm size with comparable magnification to gen. On some there is a small amount of distortion but it is true on the gens as well. Chieftang made an even better one but it is larger diameter. I recommend that one for all later models. Datewheel - Lello or Finepics (still available and necessary mod) Crown - Gen Pre-A or A (not necessary if you have Jimmy CG). If stock CG you want a palp (crown and cg hole are bigger) CG- Jimmy, very difficult to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 And for those you who thought I was nuts to buy these crowns. I still think you were nuts to buy those crowns. But I have to admit the result is awesome! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Probably. But look what is paid for the watches these crowns go on. Do you think you can get Pre-V parts from PAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Probably. But look what is paid for the watches these crowns go on. Do you think you can get Pre-V parts from PAM? Now I got a little confused. What have Pre-V to do with this thread? Don't they belong to that other thread? (which is awesome as well!)
