chad Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I was looking at the crowns yesterday on the gens and they are not as thick as the third party crowns that are being sold. In fact even my Josh 036 had a bigger crown than the gens...? The crowns on all the H series watches sold by our dealers actually look pretty close to correct. Anyone else notice this?

Yes...not trying to dis Tommy at all--because like any smart businessman he's giving the customers what they want. In this case, IMO, the customers weren't thinking too clearly. I would have preferred that he produced the 1.9mm crowns like the OEM...the 1.7 used on our reps are .2mm too small. the 2.1mm are .2mm too big. Sure, they're thick but they're both equally inaccurate. BTW, your jos 036 ought to measure out at 1.9mm--the only out of the box PAM rep crown that's identical to the gen.

jimmytim Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I was looking at a reference site the other day, and different models have different crown thickness, so there isn't a one size fits all. Most of the time people can't tell, as there really are so many models of PAMs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all the 036's come with the decent crown. I have seen one that comes with a SS crown and recessed pin!!! This debate has dragged on for a long time - the issue was never the thickness of the actual crown but that the bevelled edges were overdone making the teeth too narrow, thus making the crown appear narrower. Personally I am happy with the 2.0 Palp crowns as the .08-9 difference was not noticeable enough to worry about - but the 2.1 crowns?

speedy1 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 After recieving the 2.0 crown I am soooooo glad that I went that route (even though I had first envied the 2.1) After comparing it to the gen it looks spot on inho. I think the 2.1 is just a tick too large. BUT then again who the hell will notice it.....................besides us I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
