    Hi everyone,

    The crown, which has been loose, fell off sometime in the last day on my seamaster 30.

    I'm looking for help in identifying the right sized crown. The case is 14389-2 and having looked at some stores like Otto Frei, I wasn't able to find the case.

    Would anyone know what the right crown would be for that case? Maybe just what the right size would be?

    Appreciate the help!

    Thanks! I was able to find this crown from your screenshot. It says Tap 12 (1.2mm), isn't Tap 7 supposed to be 1.2mm and Tap 12 is 0.7mm?

    There was a previous issue like this when someone was ordering a crown from Cousins (it may even have been me :rolleyes:) and I think the outcome was that they had the wrong sizes shown in the listing but it was the correct crown.

    Possibly. What is the diameter of your stem?

    I'm not sure, I might need to go to a store to get it opened up. Would I be able to find out based on the movement?

    The crown is related to the case and not the movement, the stem is usually the same.

    It sounds like you need to go to a watchmaker, get it done properly and save yourself the worry.

    1,2 tap on a 245 movement? tap 10 if I'm right.
    Measure the size of you tube (externally), chose a tap 10
