Hi guys, so many beautiful watches here! I am also planning to start a new Franken project with a Clean 116500 V1 base. As many of you know the V1 crown has the three dots on the crown in a straight line and needs replacement on a good Franken.

Does anyone of you know if a Gen crown or a BT crown will fit the CF tube without mods?

Thank you in advance!

It fit. But the issue with v1 is the chronopushers ,gen will not fit and the orginal clean are to long, if you have a good watchsmith he can drill new threads and install gen pushers.

I've already replaced my Clean v1 crown with the correct dot crown. No issues.
