Tube OD vs "O" dimension on Crown


Recommended Posts

I have a case with a tube dimension of 2.0mm.  I know my "O" dimension on the crown should be at least that.  I also know as a toolmaker that fitting a pin/bushing into a bore that is the same size is a press/friction fit.  My question is does an "O" dimension on the crown have the clearance needed to turn.  IOW if get a crown with an "O" dim of 2.0 will the actual dimension be, for arguments sake, 2.2 or will it actually be 2.0?

 

Thanks in advance.

Rather 1.8 - else there will be no sealing.
But a crown for 2.0 tube will have the right gasket.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble. 
    • ha ha looks like a WMD.....you know I want one now  
    • Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger
