Hello, I haven't been active on the rep scene for years but still have and enjoy my PAM reps. Mine are all built around Swiss movements and are the older, closed back models, some with genuine dials, CGs, crowns etc. I have one or two still to build, with genuine dials for an 002 and a 114. These will use a gen caseset for one and an unused JimmyFu for the other. However, I don't have crowns for either of them. Can anyone advise the best, most accurate crown available please? Thanks.

DSN with round tube if he still has some, I would hunt for a gen crown for the gen case set though. sometimes a few appear on the bay

I have one, which I think may be DSN's, and it isn't bad. It fits the gen case properly and looks the part. If I can another that would be good although, I agree, another genuine crown would be much better.
There are two or three apparently genuine crowns on eBay but they all seem to be for the auto watches and these would take a smaller stem, so no good. I actually have a couple of those amongst the stuff that I'm never likely to use now.
