2005SUBMARINER Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) i just replaced my 2nd eta rep crown tube from my eta 16600 & encountered very lil if any resistance . came out just like butter ! .. i think its a very good idea to remove the stock crown tube & water proof it if going swimming or diving . the glue on the crown tubes i removed had very lil glu if any .. the glue was bubble gum like . i replaced the rep tube with a gen thick MF crown tube & used a 3m water proof cement on the gen & so far so good . from now on any rolex rep that i buy , i will replace the crown & tube assap! i think it makes a hell of a differance specialy if your gonna swim / dive this summer .

alligoat Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Even if you're not gonna replace the crown and tube, this is a must do if you're serious about WR. Also, it's a great oppurtunity to take a few swipes at the cg's w/ a file and straigten them up. The last tube I pulled from a noob did have something on it- glue? Mine took a little coaxing- pliers and rat tail file to get out. Now it's on to countersinking the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
