Hello All

I'm hoping some kind soul, either someone who knows or someone with a Camaro 7220t and a set of callipers can help. My 7220t has a service crown and service hands. Looking to get the crown replaced first, with a correct one, and first stop is to work out the size. I believe it should be 6.7 x 3mm, but could someone confirm please?

Thanks in advance!

And because photos always help...

 

Don’t have a 7220t but do have a 7220nt, which I believe is all original (except crystal). Given they are all part of third execution I would think they should have same crown. Hope this helps.

 

Thank you so much - that is really appreciated! I can go can try and find one now....

 

As an aside, does any one know of a good vintage Heuer watchmaker/specialist?

 

I have never used them but have read in multiple places that Abel Court is very highly regarded for vintage Heuers - http://www.heuertime.com/?lang=eng&p=home

That said your watch has a valjoux 72 in it so not sure there is anything special with having it serviced by a Heuer specialist and any good watchmaker should be able to handle it. It is the later chronomatic movements where I think getting a good Heuer specialists makes the most sense.

 

Does that Abel Court link work for anybody else? I have only managed to get a page header with no content for several months - thought the site was dead. Links and login don't work for me.


Regarding watchmakers, where are you based @khanmu? @SteveP recommended me Richard Askham http://thewatchspotblog.com/ for Heuer the other day. UK based.

 

Yup didn’t even realize it was dead. Think he has an Instagram page.

 

Abel’s site is down but he is fully operational and just done a great job for me on a Rindt abel@heuertime.com

 

Hello All

Sorry for the delay in replying - @Redwes25 thanks for the link to Abel, I will message him and also try instagram. Also @imagwai I am in the UK, given all the Brexit border mess at the moment, I might try Richard Askham first!

Thanks everyone for all your help - hopefully will be able to post photos of a more correct looking 7220t in due course!

 

one other person to try in the UK would be Stefan Stefansson #ursmidur. Vintagewatchfever.co.uk Done some nice work for me on Heuers where replacement parts were needed.

Rich is unlikely to have any parts unfortunately but can certainly service it for you.
