GWT 0 Posted August 12, 2012 this is the question I have look at the 2 installed on these watches Crown vs. 3dot position is different between the 2 crowns my question is relative to the crown dot position is there a difference from year to year and model to model?? BECAUSE THESE 2 ARE DIFFERENT! I also have one that finally arrived from this seller. It is different from those 2 so 3 different designs from same seller and all gen???? also have a gen set that was in package new never opened and they are also slightly different....plus KeNny just finished 1680 build and the set I sent him were also gen never opened they are also different from these??? JUST some interesting questions?? I think?????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUST some interesting questions?? I think?????? I am with you on this one? The lower crown looks like a modern 704 service crown (monobloc construction version of 703 ) - cant see how you can be sure on authenticity from what is shown here? The upper crown with stretched/deeper Rolex Crown insignia is a much earlier version and should be 'wrapped construction' You can tell the construction by looking at the leading edge of the knurled section - from the pics its hard to say, but the two outer ones in the pic on the red surface look monobloc - but if they are all monobloc (not wrapped) then you have to doubt authenticity, on at least one of them. 703/704's fit the same tube. The fact that they may have both fitted directly onto Rep tubes also raises a doubt? If that is what you are showing? Great deal either way....

Hazz 0 Posted August 15, 2012 Took off one of the crowns, it fits directly to a gen tube, now I need to figure how to get tube of watch to try the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
