2. Run of thick crowns!

[maxse]

Guys need some help so a quick question...

I do not own a PAM yet but I will eventually get an 005 or a 111h. Is the crown I need to order a SS Swiss/Asian Unitas one?

Will it defintely work with either an 005 or a 11H for DS or elsewhere? Or do I need to get a stem or something as well? Thanks.

In both cases, 005 or 111, you just need to order a crown for manual movement (i.e. caliber 120).

All crowns and stems are standard size and they will fit, provided you go with manual for manual and auto for auto (auto is caliber 90).

PAM,

I sent you a PM, I ordered two crowns back in sept 06 could you check on these for me. The pm has all my details including copy of paypal payment. I look forward to a reply and thanks!

I've been on here awhile but never have posted. Just kind of been broswing. I sent several PM's regarding these crowns but never seem to get any replys. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or just suck. I picked up a Davidsen 177 right before Palp went off the grid. I would like to purchase 1 of the Ti crowns but no response from PAM. Is there a website to purchase or is it all done by PM's? Thanks for any help.

i got in contact with PM...the replies were a bit slow, but they always came...it takes patience to order...and to get them...

[SenileCoot]

I've received the crowns.

[DuDro]

Anymore left? What's the latest?

[ravishingrick]

Recieved my crowws today. I must honnestly say I am impressed.

I have bought the 1st and 2nd run palp crowns, but these take the cake. These crowns blow the previous run crown away! The are excellently cut, very clean and have perfect bevel. Great work guys!

[bertieng]

Are these crowns supposed to be spring loaded?

[Watchmeister]

Gens are. No these ones aren't, but they are well made.

[eunomians]

And we have confirmed that these crowns do not fit PAMs such as 001, 111, etc???

I'm going crazy here at the thought of not being able to get a correct crown for my 001.

[Watchmeister]

Euno-

If you are talking about gen crowns (do not want to steal the thread though) I did find one of my PVD's is 1.2. I have spoken to the seller and asked him to look through all he has left and I will take all the 1.2's immediately. Please no PM's but folks better show up for these before my wife checks the bank account. She has recently figured how much I have spent on this "hobby" and it is going to cost me.

why aren

[sssurfer]

are you refering your post to kruzer's crowns or palps?

I think that Tourby is referring to kruzer's crowns, as palp's ones already come in 1.2 size too.

(Dadog, please have a look at the stem adapter/extender thread, I added a post that you might want to know).

[maxse]

Wait why wouldnt these fit a 001? I am actually working on obtaining an 001b which are hard to find now and thought that I would pick up a crown meanwhile. Why wouldnt it fit?

[beano2004]

Has anybody heard or received any orders lately from Marcus? It has been almost 3 weeks now and i have emailed him a couple of times with no response. Just wondering if anybody else is in the same situation as i am?

[dluddy]

Nothing from marcus or Tommy here

[beano2004]

its funny i have sent him several messages with no response and then i sent him one today stating i wanted to order some and what do you know i get a pm from him.....

[maxse]

Any1?? Can someone please tell me why these would not fit an 001B? I am about to buy one and would send it off to be modded. Are you guys saying a modder would not be able to install the PALP crown on this?

[Watchmeister]

I believe the issue is .9 versus 1.2mm stem hole. Although you can get an adapter I believe there is not enough room between the movement and the case tube to fit in the available adapter.

Can someone be a tiebreaker? One watchmaker whom I respect tremendously says the .9 can be retapped to fit a 1.2mm stem. Another watchmaker I respect equally tremendouly says no f'n way. Has anyone actually done this, or tried and failed?
