I want to install a T48 crown on my PAM005 (manual). Do I need the 1.2mm or 0.09mm tube for the manual/6497 watch.

Thanks

I have a SL T48 in the 005 now but would like to replace it with the standard T48.

So, would I need a 1.2mm for the manual 6497 movement now knowing that this is to replace the old SLT48.

Thanks.

Yeah I've ordered a non spring loaded one the other day. 20 euros is a fantastic price. If you havent yet ordered i'd do it soon, t says there is very limited stock. (Just read again, sounds like you already have it :))

FYI. when installing the crown screw remember to only turn the set lever screw two full turns only.

I made the mistake of turning it to many times and now this one is being sent to Katt for a cleaning and fixing my set lever screw.

So do you all recommend getting an aftermarket crown and tube for the new 005's? Will these fit given the space that is in the CG and lever?

The new 005 will not need any updates to the crown or the cg :)

the new released of 005 (Cown) look good to me except some say it sits too close to the case now. I think its better than the older ones.
