Need help on a Rolex Gen Tube and Crown!

[guanaco]

Ok I got this crown from eBay, here's the pic and description:

Rolex 18K Gold Submariner Twin Lock Watch Crown

* 100% Genuine Rolex 18K Crown
* Submariner Crown- 7.10mm OD x 4.39mm ID
* Rolex Twin Lock #700
* Thread- 90
* Crown fits Tube- 4.39 inside crown
* Height- 4.39mm x 3.40mm x 3.68mm

So is this thing a twinlock or a triplock??? I see 3 dots underneath the crown.... I'm confused. Also what TUBE do I need to use for this one to fit [gen or aftermarket]? Will I need a new stem as well? I plan on installing it on a TW Best TT Sub, here are the pics:






It has an ETA 2892 if it's of any help.

Thanks for your help guys!

twinlock would have TWO dots.. and its NOT a gen triplock crown... defintatly fake. THe side walls of the crown where the threads are, are WAY too thick to be a gen triplock. Is it even real gold?

Unless its an old 702 triplock but it doesnt look right to me.

i dont like when the item description says "Please read description carefully. Refunds only if item not as described"

im sure someone here has a better answer than i do. Maybe this crown is specific to 18kt gold subs?

I did a search on them and found one article that said Early triplocks had no O-ring and later triplocks with the external O-ring, were the service replacements.

Update! got fed up and went to a Rolex AD to have them check it! Turns out is fake, I'll send him a message for a full refund or a PP dispute is on its way!

Guanaco...who was the dealer on ebay?

Jewelerstools?

 

[guanaco]

Yep! Already sent him a message to refund ASAP.

the inside walls of the crown where the threads are... thats the part that wasnt right. The walls of a gen crown and very thin and these walls on your crown are very thick like the replicas. Hopefully they refund you money and i would still leave neg feedback about guaranteeing its a gen rolex part when its an OBVIOUS fake.
