V Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have many many catalogues from 2004 and many special editions ones and in all the photos i cannot see any variation on the crown teeth... THey all seem 48 because from my comparison of t crowna nd the genuine, 60 teeth are way more than 48 and they do make a visual difference.

milsub5517 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 who the hell is going to count teeth on the crowns???? T dont worry about this! I think more important is that they fit rep cases and have appropriate thickness. Forget about teeth! This is still the best crown in town. lol.

t Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 i think also that the 60 teeths crowns are not a bad deal for this price... but i thinking about to produce new crowns with 48 teeths but for a higher price of +10-15euro each crown. So every customer can choose the cheaper 60 or more expensive 48 teeths... but at first should be 100000000% sure if the teeths are 48 and if not exists different versions. BUT I DON`T REFUND ANY CROWNS.... i will change the 60 teeths crowns with a 48 teeths crowns for all buyers (with additional + 10-15 euro costs). But i don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 everybody relax! i think it is impossible to notice 10 teeth difference when someone looks at your watch. this is a rep world. it is much better than exploding crystals on fiddy's. lol.

These Crowns are not 1:1 with the gen so they fit a case that isn't 1:1. Question is: will the extra 12 teeth make a noticable difference to the appearance, will it be a standout tell? 750, man that's a bummer.

Martyd3 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 OK lets start counting, from the top Looks like 48 to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 111J here - 48 teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 This has to be a pretty big disappointment for you, t. Let me just say that I'm very happy that you will be following through, and trying to improve the crowns with a second run. And I think that the +10 Euro price for the new crown is very fair, for those of us who have already purchased the 60 teeth model. Thank you.

t Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 i think we should start a poll if we need new crowns with 48 teeths but for +10euro... or if we don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 T i think both are correct but for different versions and times, i would wait untill some one works out what years and watches need 48 teeth and which need 60 teeth, there would be no point in making 750 more ( i assume that was the min order for you) if one a few will buy them.

milsub5517 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 T, 1500 crowns is way too much for this community IMO... i say keep selling these crowns and later on if there is interest produce more correct ones. Guys, i wish one day the incorrect number of teeth on the crown is the biggest problem with these reps!!! (~ but somehow i think this will not be happening anytime soon.)

yellomen Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 First of all, sorry to hear this T. This must suck, putting in so much effort and cash and that finding out that some of the data was maybe wrong... The old ones, sold by the Turkish guy on Ebay and i got one or two from Kruzer, might be 60 teeth. Maybe they changed to less teeth later...? If someone could verify this... Depending on the outcome, you could always sell the 60 teeth crowns for cost price and the 48 teeth crowns with enough profit to make this interesting for you.

rolli Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 for me the t-crown with 60 teeth is pretty good. fits perfect with the v-crown-guard and looks perfect. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 listen to our own PAM expert.

I would love to learn which models have 60 teeth IF ANY.. Pre-V though have 48 as rolli showed us in the blueprints so it didn't changed through time.. I think there is a visual difference as you can see from the following photo... Left t crown correct thickness less teeth and right rep crown correct teeth but too thin...

swdivad Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Put the 60 teeth crowns on ebay for EU35 and sell the new run here for whatever you want... then everyone wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 im going to count a gen auto Pam and my gen manual Pam. i think there is a difference between the two + the series/year they were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 T, I knew these crowns had 60 teeth when I ordered them. I was unaware that gen crowns had 48 teeth. But since I don't believe you intentionally misrepresented them, I will not be asking you to replace my crowns with 48 teeth crowns for 10 euro. I will however, buy at least 1 (probably 2) 48 tooth crowns at your new price of 30 - 40 euro if and when they are produced. I also agree with mil_sub that 700 48 tooth crowns may be too many, even if the cost per unit goes up slightly to produce a smaller batch. Much thanks for your efforts. This just goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 V, we are comparing apples and oranges. Please put gen crown next to T's. I know you have one I would love to learn which models have 60 teeth IF ANY.. Pre-V though have 48 as rolli showed us in the blueprints so it didn't changed through time..
