Pam crown on Ebay, anyone tried it?

[pman]

I've got a 176h and was thinking of upgrading to a Palp crown. I noticed these on ebay. Has anyone ordered one and installed it? How do they compare to Palps? I did a search and could find anything. Here's a picture and a link. thanks.

Those look really good. I haven't tried one, but the specs listed sound good and the pictures look nice. They appear to be spring loaded like gen crowns are supposed to be.....


Interesting.

Do you guys really think they are gens? As Hooligan said, they look great in those pics, it be nice to see someone who has purchased one and compare it to a Palp's.

Although the price is quite steep.

Cheers!

Real ? i don't think, look the teeth , it's not look good for me .

I just see the other he sell;
look rings, for what i know genuine have only( like reps) one ring not two .
and look the PVD one, the PVD look too bad and grey for real PVD .
and this seller sell it for some time;
i will be very surprise to know it real :shock:

Well, I have never seen a gen crown by itself as too see how the internals are... Do you have a pic?

 

[pman]

Turbogt, I don't think they are real. I was just curious is someone has bought and installed it. The seals and the tube look pretty impressive. I was hoping someone could share their experience and whether or not it they thought was worth it. It would help me make a decision between Palp and the one we are discussing.

They are genuine. They are NOS dating back to 1999-2001. They match up 100% to schematics from PAM at that time. Even the fact they are 3 gasket versus the 2 gasket approach from the D's onward. Perhaps this will give you some sense:

$100. Come on guys. I like nice stuff too. We can't spend $100 for a crown for a fake watch. We all need to get it together.

 

[kruzer00]

Well, I won't ask how you feel about $200 for a Jimmy CG? But in truth the SS and PVD are all .9 so they are usable only on automatics unless you have a very skilled watchsmith. The titaniums are all 1.2 so they are usable on the handwinds. By the way are you sure both those watches above are "fake"? :wink:

i remember Jimmy sold his CG's for $ 50 on the bay.
i just say one thing...before i get a palp or gen crown.....i get a 2.05mm crown from Dvsn.

These crowns seem rather pricey.
