This is an old topic but worth, I think, making a few points now.
Points which, by the way, I have picked from other Forums too and Amazon.

The quality on the Grovana (and Revue-Thommen) watches is no longer what it used to be. Model 1571 (also known as Coral Reef, Corel Reef, Submariner) has proved to have a number of "faults". The dot comes off easily, the colour ring comes off too, the crown is "weak" and lose, the case is of poor quality and finish and (mentioned now by a few) - the movement is not the ETA2824 any longer but a Sellita - so it seems.

As the components are made in China (for most of the Grovana and Revue-Thommen range of watches) - don't be surprised if logos on crown and strap may be omitted or may be different. These are not fake watches but just poor quality control
