Sorry clear articulation in English sentences is required.

Abbreviations and cryptic references render the above entries invalid and those members are disqualified from further entries.

Whew! Intense!

Simply stated, if one views an authentic Rolex logo, such as is displayed on your Forum posts, one sees no discontinuity in the formation of the "R," "O," or the Crown. Placing the logo in question next to the one you display makes it easy to spot the discrepancies in the formation of the letters and the Crown.

My heart is pounding.....how'd I do??????

Wrong fonts used on the R and the O and also the crown is not one solid crown but broken up into 2 parts?

There are "breaks" in the crown and in the the two letters R and O. They are not solid.

Its not a 'crown'. You may as well say 'hat' or 'beanie' because that is not its proper title.

The photo above was taken today at the Rolex Melbourne Formula 1 Albert Park Race Track as preparations are taking place for the staging of the 2017 race on 26 March 2017.

There are approximately 800-1000 Rolex signs at the track and they are each painstakingly hand finished....JUST LIKE REAL ROLEX WATCHES

Here is photographic evidence of a professional signwriter finishing off the Rolex sign.

The errors are contained in the letters "R" and "o" in the word Rolex and the base of the Rolex coronet is disjointed from the top of the coronet.

I win!!

Thanks for all the entries.

its a coronet; a type of head gear consisting of a metal ring with ornaments attached. By definition a coronet differs from a crown in that it does not have arches and from a tiara in that it is a closed ring that completely encircles the wearer's coconut.

And each sign takes a year to make.
