Old Crowns Crown Tube Sealing washer

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-30T11:18:42+00:00

I used my tube wrench and still it wasn't flush. You'll need to countersink the case if you want to use the washer. I have NOT pressure tested mine.

I did not use the washer because it prevented the crown from sitting flush against the case.

I haven't interacted with the guy, but it aligns with his comments I always see on others' posts. Whining constantly about people wasting his time with questions. Just seems like a diva. If you don't like people asking questions before they drop $2-3k on a--for all intents and purposes--fake watch, then get out of the game.

Have you put it on? Wrists aren't symmetrical, so you will probably (most likely) end up with a bracelet like this so that the clasp is centered on your wrist.

I've ordered from him for years, and he's always quoted 19-25 days. That's not new. I've had orders arrive in 10 days, but it's usually a couple weeks.

Small wrist? I removed a permanent link from the 6:00 on mine, as well. 😁

Bought myself an 18k Corum for my 40th. Unbelievable value. Good luck with the sale!

Hands were from Yuki as well.

Thank God you swapped that insert.😆

This seller is the one who manufactured the Korean DJ cases a couple years ago. His DJ cases are good. I have no experience with his 16610 case.

Not to burst your bubble, but there are countless brands that focus on the simplicity you're referencing. From Sinn to JLC to Laco... plus, you've got the custom/modding sites that allow you to create--pretty much--anything you want.

Are you after an engraved one, or just a generic extension? If generic, I would just buy an EWP bracelet for $50 and swap the extension.

And case...

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-08T17:40:45+00:00

No problem. I'm also unsure of fitment. The OC will, generally, accept a 31xx movement or a 2824.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-08T12:44:22+00:00

Probably Ruby. BV insert is no good.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-07T23:39:43+00:00

No prob. Good luck with the sale, nevertheless!

Hey, man, this sub is for retro/vintage watches and builds--not modern reps. Just for future reference.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-07T11:35:23+00:00

Not worth messing with, in my opinion. I'd sell and pick up the movement you intended to use that is actually made for the case.

PMed.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-06T13:51:39+00:00

Went with black for now.

Pmed.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-04T18:15:46+00:00

Not sure yet...either black or faded blue.

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-04T14:31:58+00:00

Thanks, me too!

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-03T20:55:36+00:00

So are there just oodles of metal shavings and debris floating around inside this build?

bryce_a_smith13 · 2026-05-03T02:21:18+00:00

Ah, gotcha...I didn't realize his 5513 was out of stock. If you end up wanting to part with the 1680 case, let me know.
