Looking for regular / dustproof crowns, as described below, and would appreciate your help!

Pink, tap 10, approx 5.8mm x 1.5mm. Similar to the following, which is missing from my other 400:

How about pink tap 8? (A correct stem should make it tap 8.)

Does it help if I mention that this one is for the permanent collection?

I think it is not easy to find these. I have been looking for these slim crowns too, but seems you need to find old stock. Some watchmakers (the ones with many drawers) have these in their spares.

You can only waste time if you forget to enjoy it - Loesje
