Universal Geneve 842139 - Crown Help

PirowatchesAUS · 2026-05-18T05:42:47-0500

Hey Guys,

I am an owner of this watch below, UG Tank Ref. 842139. I have been on the hunt for awhile however to no avail, so I was wondering if anyone knows where or what other references I could find and source an original crown for it as this reference is not the cheapest to buy again?

This is my first post, though being on here for 2 years reading all the great posts! Please don't attack me below in the reply's 😂

Thanks,
Piro

The original crown is like this one listed on Chrono24, a dark blue stone cabochon.

Its gonna be impossible I think. Do you have a restoration watchmaker at your disposal who can assist you in finding a similar crown?
