Good afternoon RWI. I have an Explorer 1 214270 ARF and am trying to locate the gen crown size, part number and correct tube. I know it is stainless Twinlock crown but am unsure proper size. The ARF one on mine measures 6mm. I just don't want to spend a couple hundred $ on the wrong parts.

I have searched RWI and Google and come up blank. I have searched the forum under "214270", "triplock", "6mm", "EX1 crown size", ect. I was unable to find the information. I read stonep great post: "Do you know your : 6mm Rolex crowns?" https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/319855-do-you-know-your-6mm-rolex-crowns

I think what I need for my EX1 is a 6mm 604-0 Crown, 24-5330 Tube.

Anyone know if I am correct?
Thank you in advance!

That sounds good to me, looking at a pic of the case tube, it's definitely not a 7030. And I'm assuming that a 214270 is only rated to 100m. But reading stonep's deal, I would think you could also use the 603 crown- whose gonna know and it might be a little cheaper.

Thanks alligoat
It's just strange I couldn't find a chart or a listing anywhere. I am new to the "R" game so their part numbers don't make a ton of sense yet.
I also don't want to order the wrong part I can't use.

Remember that the 214270 is a new model and Rolex doesn't publish their information for public consumption. And 6mm crowns are a little tricky to boot. The old 6mm crowns were easy but the 603/604 crowns with the smaller 24-5330 tubes are like a funky knuckleball- tough to figure. And on top of that, the rep mfrs don't always follow the Rolex rules so you just have to get in there and figure it out yourself and sometimes that can be tricky, or expensive when you find yourself buying more parts because the first ones didn't work. Welcome to the rep world!
