Me either. I'm staring at my crystal right now, and I can't see it.

Is it on all models? When did they start doing it?

GerardoG · 19 September 2015, 03:48 AM

strange thing to say

I catch a glimpse of the coronet from time to time!

Just obsessive...but certainly not alone on this forum.

It always looks like a snowflake rather than a crown...

Once is enough for me.

Take a bright led flashlight and shine it from above watch at 12 o'clock and pointing it down to 6 o'clock. the crown engraving should jump out at you. Will be located at 6 o'clock. :)

And yes I do it from time to time myself. Someone should start a "show your Rolex crown etching" thread. :)

It took a while but I just found it on my new 39mm OP. I had to get the light just right and use a magnifying glass.

THC · 20 September 2015, 11:00 AM

I cannot find mine at all... Sigh

evlkoala · 20 September 2015, 11:54 AM

you are not crazy!! just enjoy looking at it like all of us

Bangel · 20 September 2015, 12:16 PM

I went through a phase where I liked identifying the laser etched coronet on my crystal.

It wasn't due to any fear of it disappearing (!) but more the satisfaction of being able to visualise it at will once I worked out the knack for doing so.

The novelty of that has worn off for now.

Rock · 20 September 2015, 02:21 PM

I doubt you are either of those things. You are just a watch tragic - like the rest of us.
We like to enjoy the 'fine detail'.

HogwldFLTR · 20 September 2015, 02:26 PM

I just can't find it on my watch; oh wait I'm wearing a Breitling tonight.

Yesteday, I caught a glimpse of the one on my DJII with my eye alone. I couldn't get it to show again however. It is a cool little artifact.

Haha.. you're not alone there.

I hope you are talking about the laser crown Brandy.

I've heard they can only be spotted five times and then vanish forever. I suggest spreading your ocd out
