Rolex logo
I noticed some vintage "crown" logo is missing the bottom--the oval circle is not there--I see this in buckles,etc. Can someone give me some history ? what era they use this ?

Here's a pic of the crowns on three different Submariners.
Each a little different.

kinda neat...the variations in the crown shape/size have to do with what quadrant of the southwestern hemisphere the sun was eloping while the quantum change of solar winds equinox the unicorn. Very scientific.
No clue. But I thought Id at least take a stab at it.

different vendors delivering different parts = inconsistent look/feel
