Interested in the answer to that as Google is highly conflicted, even on the Rolex Forum it doesn't seem to be clear!

Athaya is tapped with M3x0.35. If you want to redrill the case get a 2.56mm drill

2.65 that is, sorry. I did it myself so can confirm that it works.

Well the guy is a watch dealer on eBay with plenty of restored vintage watches, so you never know!Most likely in an eBay auction or such. No one in their right mind would sell an actual genuine big crown clasp in good condition for such price.
I narrowly missed a 6251h clasp on eBay a few weeks ago...
Here's a link:
13.5mm is small - 2mm to be exact - but I think I can just shave 1mm off each side of the clasp links and make it work.
Not holding a candle to authenticity after all!
Would still like to get the correct(ish) hands and crown, with ends links my final boss.
That's hot. Do you know the width of the clasp? There's different kinds.
EDIT: Ah, so it is actually 13.5mm wide? That's really narrow.
Do show us what the final result looks like.
For end links, WSO has 55 end links.

My current clasp in 15.5mm, but I think in the end it'll look good.
Again, not super fussed about authenticity - close enough is good for me.
Sadly not! Raffles riveted Oyster, in which I've removed the adjustment pins and replaced with push rivets so it looks more complete.
Current build - apols for the shit photos, I'm in a distinctly average hotel in London.

-Clasp etc, currently Raffles (registration number delete) but soon to be changed for Gen Spec G&F
- Movement is PT5004 (Silver) 28800bph direct from manufacturer (obvs higher BPH than OEM but I wanted something repairable - my 1979 Kawasaki taught me about how much of a f*£ker it is fnding old parts lol)
- Hands Raffle but am planning to change to correct spec
- Crown Raffles Brevit, am planning to shape manually to achieve correct thickness.

Oh you are so screwed, you know you are hooked...don't you?
Whist everyone's around, can I get some advice on these hands?
They look right for a 6610 non-white lollipop (still larger than normal seconds hand lume) but I swear this is just Raffles selling on eBay?

Nice, thank you. Yes, it's a Raffles - not the best quality but solid for the price and with forced patina it works for me.
Any chance of a link to Helen's Hands?
