cableguy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/100-Rolex-Submariner-W...1QQcmdZViewItem seems like a decent price for a used crown and tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The price is genuinely decent, but the parts are not genuine Rolex. They look like the same cheap parts that most rep watches come with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 really? [censored].... there are so many now on ebay, how the heck do i find a REAL set? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 a bit more for teh sealed rolex crowns, is A LOT more lol. i see them for 150.00 or so sealed on the bay =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Here's a 24-703 crown from Mark Greenberg, http://cgi.ebay.com/SS-Rolex-Submariner-Se...1QQcmdZViewItem 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 doh, by the time i saw this post, the auction ended lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
