pam crowns.

[chromed.]

i've read comparative reviews on the different CGs available like Sead's, Toro Bravo, DSN, etc. etc.. but was wondering about the different crowns.. AFAIK these r e available ones..

- T48 Spring Loaded ( t frm RWG.? )
- T60 ( unsure whether its SL or not & who makes it )
- Palp crown ( opcrown frm RWG.? )
- Standard Rep crown ( T30 i believe. )

are there more.?
what's e diff between the spring loaded&non spring loaded.?

also i'm comparing bet the SL T48 & e Palp crown..either one for a Toro CG.. any feedback.?

 

[chromed.]

no one chiming in.?

t48 no spring loaded is the BEST IMO.

T60 is not accurate at ALL

rep crown is not good

palp crowns look best on pre-v builds, little thicker than a t48

t48 spring isnt all that good from the reviews I've read

It's not a SL but like Coldi said it's not the best crown available for now... And i was not patient enough to wait for an old T48 to come in the sales.

im also looking around to replace the crown on mine.

just curious, whats the difference btw non-spring & spring loaded?

still kina noob wen it comes to the nitty gritty details of the works of a watch. heehee

AFAIK, there're 2 differences between the SL crowns & non SL crowns:-

1) e SL is more GEN-like as GENs have a SL crown.
2) it improves e waterproofing of e watch, generally.

am i correct, guys.?i'm also not tt sure..

so i'd believe e OLD t48 crowns are e non-SL ones ( better ) whereas e newer t48 crowns r e SL ones.? t60 is definately out..

Hmmm, let's see here -

Rep crowns are not "tXX" anything. The t48 and t60 definitions are used to differentiate between the two versions of crowns that "t" over at RWGjr makes.

Yes, the t48 SL crowns are more gen-like, in that the gen crowns are spring loaded, as well. However, the dish of the crown is not as deep as the gen crowns, based on the pics I've seen.

The normal t48s are good, but the edges of the teeth are rounded from the polishing that t did, and are noticably more rounded than gen.

On the gen PAMs, compressing the "spring loaded" crowns engages some seals between the crown shaft and the tube. This is not the case with the replica crowns, so I don't think this could really be seen as a way to improve WR.

t60s have the same rounded edges and have the incorrect number of teeth, so should be taken off the table for discussions of accuracy, IMO.

I haven't seen any of the Palp/opcrown crowns, yet.

oh, thanks for e clear-up.. thot it meant e number of teeth e crowns has.. i see, seems like afew ppl are for e older t48s.. but these r hard to obtain, frm what i read..

Yes, it does refer to the number of teeth, but only because tourby's first batch of crowns had 60 teeth which is incorrect. He then had a corrected batch run of 48 tooth crowns. The monikers of "t48" and "t60" were then created to differentiate between the two. If he'd had the correct number of teeth from the beginning, these would simply be known as "t" crowns, as that is his screen name over at RWGjr.

 

[COLDI]

But if you get a T crown you will more than likely have to mod your cg or get a new one as the dish is deep and not very shallow like rep or dsn crowns

 

[hooligan]

I thought the OP was getting a Toro CG, anyway?

 

[COLDI]

Ya, but the ones I've owned are a PITA. Feet need to be shaped to the case. At least with DsN cases

i see.. yea, makes perfect sense..

so if i currently mod e Toro CG to fit e rep crown.. chances of another crown fitting be it e t48 or e palp crown is uncertain, am i right.?

I thought the OP was getting a Toro CG, anyway?

yup, i am in fact its alr here, waiting for e mods to be done

Ya, but the ones I've owned are a PITA. Feet need to be shaped to the case. At least with DsN cases

my case is an unknown case..didnt knw where it originated frm..got con actually :/

 

[COLDI]

If you mod the toro cg to fit a rep crown you will have to shave the cg lever, and then if you install a T48 the dish is a lot deeper so it more than likely will not touch

so e toro will have to be changed.?

No, just wait until you have your new crown before you install the Toro CG.
