Hello,

I'll be having my '80 Snowflake in for service and will need to decide if I want to reuse the 7020/702 tube and crown, assuming it passes a pressure/vacuum test and is still useable...if not, I'll have to decide if I want to purchase NOS 7020/702 ($$$) or go with the newer and more affordable 7030/703 tube and crown.

With that, if I do need to replace these parts, and I'm not worried about potential re-sale of the watch, is going with the latter style tube and crown a no brainer? Seems like it's just a "how much do you want to spend" sort of thing.

Always best to replace the crown tube Rolex does on all full RSC service.

Leave original so long as it functions properly. 702 systems are getting harder to find.

I am. The original passed 702 tube/crown just passed 100m of water resistance. Remarkable.
