No one hit can accomplish both impressions without affecting other areas of the crown...
This looks like the crown has been polished down... why would someone do that??? Maybe they were trying to remove a small imperfection and made things worse... I dunno but definitely have never seen this kind of damage concentrated on the crown... I also think that this kind of damage is very easy to overlook by both original seller and buyer if the rest of the watch is mint...

Meh, there is absolutely no reason to "polish down" a crown - so that is out the window!
It is more plausible that it was dropped to a floor, prolly a tile floor, and it bounced. "That," I would believe before some nut put a Dremel to the crown !
Besides, ROLEX warranted the damage "enough" to install a new tube, so an "impact" is more likely what happened, indeed~
