Tissot 27B-21 - crown tap no.


Recommended Posts

Dear enthusiasts

I measured the stem thread to be approx. 1.05 mm. When I choose a crown, should I go for tap 10 (1.00 mm) or tap 11 (1.10 mm). Correct me if I'm wrong in conversions. 

Cousinsuk sells new Tissot crowns but these are standardized tap 9(0.90 mm) and unfortunately not compatible. The watch is from end 40s. 

Thanks for helping.

That Crown would look strange on a 40's Tissot. I know some change to a Tap 9 stem and go with it but personaly I would wait until the correct one shows up. Which model of the 27B-21 do you have? Some pictures would be nice, one never know someone here might have just the right one .

B.T.W If you messured 1.05 the size is probably Tap 11.

Thank You guys for responses.

Here's a picture. The existing long piped crown is not deep enough to fit the tube on the case.

The winding is a litte stiff despite service, so would prefer not to go down in thread size.

I'm a little confused by tap conversions, seems it's different from US and UK?

I found some on eBay Spain by typing 'tissot vintage crown's but not sure of them yet relatively pricy.

Cousinsuk have there own size chart. Which i think is the best. Esslinger have the right one that most other use. U should need a tap 8 crown. As for the crown. older Tissot used a domed crown without logo.

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
