Hello gents. I need a crown for my 1675. Would a any datejust crown fit? As long as is 5.3? I've heard that a lady's datejust 5.3 crown would fit. Is this accurate? Thanks

The crown is the same as a DateJust so you are looking in the right direction.

Thank u

actually, i dont think springer is correct.

i had a 16750 and a Datejust midsize at one time. The crowns were identical. The full sized datejust's crown that i owned was larger. you may want to just get this info from a rolex service center before you make a mistake and buy an incorrect part. esp this part as a bad crown = water = a really bad day.

not picking sides, LETS SEE what Rolex catalogue oyster R. 20 says
from 1989 and back

1675 5.3
16750 5.3

sapphires use the 6mm. 16700,16710,16713,16718,16758,16760

Sounds good to me. I thought the last crown I used for a 16750 was the same as used on a DateJust, not sure what model, but it was a DateJust winding crown. I am no expert on the movements and parts, I just follow my watchmaker's advice. I have a box full of new parts and every now-and-then I find an item for one of my GMT's. Note: After checking further, I believe the ladies DateJust crown is the right size for the GMT. The crown diameter on the men's DateJust is larger than on a GMT. I can't speak about the mid-size DateJust crown size as I have no knowledge of that model but Harry seems to believe that the mid-size crown fits the GMT also which makes sense to me.

correct.

5.3 is a ladies dj
6 is mens dj

so if you need a 5.3 crown a ladies dj would do.

Cool. Going to snatch up the lady's djust crown. Thanks again for the great info

Big Jule - glad that this helped !

Springer, the only reason i know this is because back in 2000 i really wanted a sub. all the ones i found were either big bux or in poor shape. i bought a 16750 and disliked the small crown. i ended up flipping it for a new SD. i used to line it up to my mom's midsize DJ and laugh.

i guess i had a case of Rolex Crown Envy! Einstein would be proud
