Watch crown


Recommended Posts

hi everyone, I have been given a Rotary watch with the model number GB03429/20 (14255) which does not have a stem or crown. It uses a Miyota O20 movement and I have a spare stem, but would anyone know where I could find out the correct crown size. And would this be a screw down crown,or is there anyway of finding out? 

All help ell much appreciated!

Some case styles have a slight indentation to the size of the button. If there is no sign of it being a screw down than it's not. It's just common sense in fitting a button you don't want it to look big and ugly, but you don't want it to small so it looks ridicules and you don't want it sticking out to far or it will rub the persons wrist, it should fit nice and snug against the case and match the colour of the case or as near as possible.

    • Couple of Oris in there , early Oris were pretty small , around 28mm , the first 2 could be 45x or 49x series calibers. The Unicorn might also be an Oris, to know that these will be pin pallet watches if there is no jewel count on the dial. The other 3 will be much the same. The Oris are ok and have some value, as far as pin pallets go Oris were very good as thats all they were allowed to work with for a long time, so they made sure they got the best out of them. Its good to inside though, at the most basic level of inspection of an Ebay sale at least you can see if anything is missing inside, otherwise its just pure luck. Ask the sell if he will add some pictures of the insde for you to privately look at.
    • What I've found with Facebook groups and yes i am in a few , its good to have more than one source of information on specialised areas such as lathe restoration or just military watches etc. They dont have the same ethics that we have here, we all seem to look out for each other here, a good close knit group that encourage new members and each other daily. We have a laugh sometimes and really help each other out and support each other. All the support i received about my mum was so kind, i wouldn't have got that anywhere else. A lot of these facebook groups are full of aholes and sarcastic gate keepers. I consider our forum to be very unique, but the subject of # if it ever Dissappears # honestly i think does need addressing . We're really just after a connection site Michael not a full function chat group. Just a way to re-connect if something happens. But the other big thing is all the stored information how that can remain accessible. 
    • Facebook is a big NO from me. I have nothing to do with any of these sorts of places. 
    • I for one would have to pass, I'm not joining Facebook. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  This might be helpful for you.  704789946_TZIllustratedGlossary(2).pdf
