olreon Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) hello, about 2 weeks ago it happend to me, what happend befor to many members here on the board which own a pam183/210. the thread of my tube and crown got striped. first i don´t know what to do, but then i thought i should talk to david over on trc. he told me that he is able to source me a tube and crown for my bs. the spare parts arrived this morning and the first impression was that the quality/threads of the crown and tube are much better then on the ones that came with th rep. i installed to tube and it fits good, of course you have to glue it or use loctite(243). the only problem is that the stem of the eta 6497 doesn´t fit to the thread of the crown, the crown-thread is to small for the stem. i have send an email to david and explained him the problem. i think this should not be difficult to fix. best wishes olreon Edited April 28, 2006 by olreon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Possibly you got a crown for automatic movements -- it fits caliber 90 stem. For a 6497 you need a caliber 120 crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
