This is a generic gold crown designed for the Rolex Datejust 16013 watch, compatible with the Caliber 3035 automatic movement, measuring 6.0 × 2.8 mm with part number B24-600-8. Available in steel or genuine 18K gold, it is ideal for replacing worn, stripped, or damaged original crowns, restoring the watch‘s winding, time‑setting, and screw‑down water resistance functions.
Normal Operation：Unscrew the crown counter‑clockwise, pull to first position for date setting, second position for time setting.
Manual Winding：With the crown unscrewed, rotate clockwise for manual winding.
After Adjustment：Push the crown back and tighten clockwise to ensure water resistance.
Thread Alignment Tip：Push in and turn counter‑clockwise until you feel a “click”, then tighten clockwise.
Note：The Caliber 3035 does not have a hacking (stop‑seconds) function; the seconds hand continues to run during time setting.
Important Note：The 16013 is a two‑tone (Rolesor) model; its original crown is 18K gold. Choosing a steel crown will create a color mismatch, but function remains unchanged. Professional installation by a watchmaker is strongly recommended.
Inspection Period：Check crown locking feel and gasket condition every 2‑3 years.
Stripped Thread Treatment：If rough or unable to lock, threads may be worn – replace the crown (and stem).
Cleaning：Wipe with a soft cloth; avoid chemical solvents.
Gasket Replacement：Replace the crown gasket when replacing the crown (purchased separately).
Gold Plating Care：Avoid chemical contact and abrasion to prevent scratching the 18K gold surface.
Replacement Criteria：Replace if stripped, won‘t lock, plating worn, or threads damaged.
Q1: Is this crown compatible with my Rolex Datejust 16013?
A: Yes. This crown is specifically designed for the 16013 (36mm Datejust) with Caliber 3035. Produced from 1977‑1988, this model uses a 6.0mm crown. Verify your original crown size and movement before purchase.
Q2: Is this a genuine Rolex part?
A: No, this is a generic (aftermarket) replacement part. It is designed to original specifications but is not manufactured by Rolex. The genuine 18K gold version is solid gold, not plated.
Q3: What is the difference between the steel and 18K gold versions?
A: The steel version is affordable and silver in color; the 18K gold version is solid yellow gold, perfectly matching the original two‑tone case. The original 16013 crown is 18K gold – choose the gold version for an authentic look.
Q4: Can I install this crown myself?
A: If you have watch repair experience and proper tools (e.g., spring bar tool, screwdrivers), you can install it yourself. However, due to the precision of Rolex movements, professional installation is recommended to avoid thread damage or compromised water resistance.
