I've noticed these as well. It's very bold of this seller to claim that these are 100% genuine Rolex...And he has an otherwise decent feedback record. I wonder what gives :thumbdown:

Buy from a seller with a large number of previous sales & 100% positive ratings, make sure the seller accepts Paypal (so you have some recourse if you find out later that the seller misled you and, if possible, at least until you've educated yourself to be able to tell the difference, pay a bit more for a crown in a sealed Rolex package. Of course, it is possible that an unscrupulous person could forge the package, but that is very unlikely to occur when dealing with someone with a perfect track record of customer satisfaction.

One of the telltale signs of a rep Triplock crown are the flatter & wider dots (the dots on gen crowns are smaller and more 3d).

Here's a 24-703 crown from Mark Greenberg,

It ain't cheap, but he's reliable. Then you could pick up an aftermarket case tube from Gary Clark over at Clark Watch supply (nostalgia2000) on ebay- $18-20. And you'd be in business. Just remember to counter sink your sub case and retap the hole before you install the case tube.

Since he ended the auction early, he was probably happy with the price and he might have some more. You could check with him and see. Heck, he might even sell you a crown off ebay in the $50 range which would be a better deal. Never hurts to ask.
