16570 from 92 with etched crown
Hi, I am trying to figure out why my Explorer 2 16570 from 1992 has the etched crown at 6 on the glass? I dont have any service records of the watch. What could be the reasons for this?
Very thankful for any response! |

I´ve had a few 16570 but have never noticed an etched crown in the crystal. Maybe modern service crystals has it? https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=20331 |

According to my notes the etched crown was introduced around 1999 so your 16570 from 1992 must have had a replacement crystal fitted sometime after 1999.

Correct, a watch from '92 would not have originally been fitted with an etched crystal, but a more recent replacement could have the etching.

Crystal has been replaced. Not uncommon for a Rolex that has been serviced by RSC. Crystals are almost always swapped at service regardless of condition.
