Logan Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe I missed the initial discussions on these.. are these going to be sprung? Also will the o-rings be outside like the genuine crowns, which really requires a new tube, or will they be designed to fit the rep tube with the o-rings inside that?

Designed to fit the standard rep tube without any need to work the tube or case. A spring would increase the diameter again so it won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta8088 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 This is great news t! Looking forward to seeing how they turn out. I will probably get a few of each. Thanks to you and the others that are helping to make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I am assuming they will be a better version of the palp. Well made and designed to slide right into the rep case tube so they are no fuss no muss. Worst case you are adjusting the lever slightly which can be readily done by anyone who has a file. Great project T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great project T. Better than Palp - the outer dimensions were taken from a gen crown and only slightly changed where function demanded these changes for our reps. But, different from the Palps, for example the recessed area at the outside of the crown is allmost as deep as with the gen. If the CG and lever setup works correctly with a standard rep crown it will do the same with these ones. Promised!

t Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 ok this sounds to complicated we will go forword with a complete "brushed" crown. I think this is good enough. As i know are the PALP crowns also complete brushed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'll ask again, will these work on a 192? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 These should work on any Luminor. Just checked (with a 10x loupe) a genuine crown from the kruzer's run. It is all polished. I also have a feeling that the 400:100 ratio in favor of 1.2 stem is excessively unbalanced. I am afraid that a new run for 0.9 crowns might be needed soon, while a few 1.2 crowns might stay unsold. Don't you think that 350:150, or even 300:200, would be more realistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 hmmmmmmmmmm? genuine crown is complete polished????? ok i will call my supplier and will let him know he should build it complete "brushed" but the tops polished??? Ok? or should we build it complete polished???? anyone have a genuine 111 crown (new series) as sample for me??? I would send it to the fatcory... and you would get it back.

peepshow Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 My gen 002D crown certainly seems to be all polished, it has a noticeably more pronounced sheen than any of the 3 Palp crowns I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 First of all I want to say sorry for my disappearance from this topic. I was involved in a quite serious accident and not able to write or read in this forum due to my injuries and my time in hospital. But it's getting better now, I am back home and I can walk again Fish sent me some drawings that I'll check and change for european standards this evening. I'll send them back to Fish with my modifications. I still would be happy seeing two Unitas and one Valjoux crown reserved for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sorry to here that, Chefcook , i hope all gets better with time, oh and on a side note i am in for a Ti crown for unitas!!! good work T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snrubb Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'll ask again, will these work on a 192? I know a 192 has a smaller diameter stem from the regular 6497 stem. Not sure if the automatic one would work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I translated the drawing to German standards. Everything has to be standardised in Germany, so are the teeth on things like watch crowns. The dimensions in david's design needed to be altered by just a few hundreth millimeters to meet a standard knurl - I've changed it as it will save quite a lot of money. I am sure that gen panerais use the same standard knurl as swiss standards are not that different from ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
