Does this crown count?????

Sorry, couldn't help myself.....

vh_bu98 · 20 February 2008, 01:33 PM

I can't find it on my new YM. Do they still have it on Rolexes with the engraved rehaute?

CoopJr · 20 February 2008, 01:35 PM

VERY elusive indeed Larry. I cannot find mine unless I use a 10X loupe. No way I can see it with my naked eye. My hat is off to anyone who can capture one of these in a photograph.

Yep, it's there. Extremely tough to see. I've been able to see with the naked eye only in just the right sight and at just the right angle...

The pics make it look much more prominent than it actually is. You'd likely NEVER notice it if you didn't know it was there...

I'm forever a "new guy"

When I had the LV, I was able to see it with the naked eye. But with the plat YM, I can't see it all. The platinum dial probably doesn't provide enough contrast compared to the black dial. I did finally see it after taking several shots with my macro lens. I swear that the etching seems to be lighter!

i can't see it with my eye's on my gmt2c and it took me forever to see it with a lupe. it is very light on my watch.

Vu, i'm sure it was a typo and you meant to say naked eye, instead of naked guy...

lildragon · 20 February 2008, 02:37 PM

Amazing photos of the etched crown! I've heard of it, but have never been able to see mine (with the naked eye).

Yes. the "S" in the coronet denotes a replacement crystal. Good observation! I enjoyed all the great pics guys, thanks!

Here is a pic of it (supermacro. Not my pic, I think it was "Uncle AJ" who posted it here sometime back):

frostie · 20 February 2008, 10:44 PM

Ι've found them but they are hard to capture

buz-lh · 20 February 2008, 10:49 PM

Found it.

Uncle-AJ · 20 February 2008, 10:50 PM

Here's my GMT II

and the super macro was from my replacement on my TT sub,

SSD · 20 February 2008, 10:58 PM

Wow. The pics got even better!

f16570 · 20 February 2008, 11:37 PM

That is it, I have had enough, so I went and got my 5,000,000 watt searchlight out and BINGO, YA BEAUTY MY WATCH IS NOT A FAKE AFTER ALL.
I saw it with the naked eye, but man it is tiny. Easy spotted on the Lady DJ.
