    sorry I don't get the point. I'd appreciate if you could refrain from making unpleasant comments on my post to promote your business.
    if your crowns are already sold I'm not sure how useful your comment is.

    i don't know what the tap is, it's a crown for caliber 30T2SC. I'll ask friends if they know more info about the specs.
    I have since been sent a crown that's correctly sized but looks slightly different. I'm looking for just one, exactly correct crown. thanks for the suggestion.

    S, you'll have to excuse FullyWound. He certainly picked the correct screen name, and FullyEarned his avatar message as you can see.

    cool either way i have 100s look like they fit the bill ill spend 20min or so tomorow and match some up using google found info and i may even have a 30t2 to check against the only problem MAY be a) it maybe one of those "dodgy calibers" that has a bunch that fit (and thus dont) but also that the length f your stem may play a factor as they do sit slim but ill send a bunch anyway im sure the age old tradition of trial and error will overcome. PM me your address ill send you a packet monday

    I'm not sure if the pic is of your actual watch or not, but if you have the old crown, you'll want to go to you watch maker so he can measure the tap, tube, etc. Once you have that, perhaps these charts will help you find the model number of the correct crown.

    Wow, that is astounding, thanks gents.
    If "tap" means the diameter of the stem then my watchmaker told me it should be 1.2 millimeters.
    The other measurements provided by a friend are:
    Diameter = 5.9mm
    Depth including threaded tube = 2.75mm
    Depth excluding threaded tube = 1.55mm

    Here's a picture of the actual watch it's intended for:
