Does anybody know what crown to order for a Tag Carrera?

CousinsUK have a few that look right, but I think the thread for the stem is different and I don't have any way of measuring it.

I have the Calibre 16 Carrera CV2014 (day only).

I just wanted a gen crown as I would be happier with its potential for WR.

I'm super repping my watch anyway with a gen rotor and datewheel etc so I might as well spend £15 more on a gen crown. The pushers are £30 each so they may be something for the future.

I think it is one of the 7mm x 2.5mm crowns but not sure about the (2.70mm or 3.15mm). Part numbers are C8621J or C8621L.

Any help would be awesome. :cheers:

I would like to know this to as I have two CV2014 on the way. I have a new gen Tag Heuer cal. 16 movement with the cut out rotor.

The pushers are really nice on the rep not worth 60£ to upgrade. But the crown is a must. And I really want the updated caseback with 100m water resistant.

The gen cut out rotor is lovely. I spent £130 on one.

May go Swiss later. Or just go gen.

I looked it up by a AD today the measurement for the gen crown is the cousin ref. C8621J.

Also got the first of my 2 CV2014 today so i just modded the A7750 by polishing away the blue color on the movement screws.

The next one will maybe arrive tomorrow and that would be the gen cal 16 swap watch.. :D

Thanks for sharing the info.

Do you know where to buy the updated rotor on its own by any chance?

Santre - I just have had my crown arrive. I think you want C8621L

I ordered C8621J and it is a tiny bit smaller than the rep crown.

The diameter is the same. The rep crown is actually pretty damn close.

Any strange angles or size differenes is my poor iphone pics, but the rep crown is a touch taller.

I can sell you my new gen tag crown if you want to see for yourself? :)

Your rep crown look much better than mine. Send me a PM and I buy the gen if you don't want it :)

I bought the other gen crown too.

It is closer to the size of the rep. But to be honest the difference between the two is so small it's hard to think why they bothered making two crowns that are a nats bollock difference between them.

Hope that crown gets to you soon! ;)
