Upload Your Own Laser Etched Crown

Hi TRFers,

Let's play:

Using your phone camera (mine's a crappy Huawei because...) take a photo
and upload YOUR VERY OWN Rolex logo laser etched crown.

We all know Jocke would have the better photo, still let's give it our best shot.

Let's begin! Thank you for participating.

I've managed to see mine about twice so getting a photo of it is going to be a challenge.

What color dial do you have? The crowns are very hard to see, but are easier on the dark color dials.

Haha, this is a bit tricky as it has to be it the right lighting conditions and correct angle. Keep on trying. It took several tries and the wife calling me obsessed hahaha

I’m totally obsessed too. Sometimes I stare at my watch just to watch the second hand sweep around

For those who have problems seeing the LEC, shine an LED flashlight (your phone will do) from 12:00.

It will pop like nobodies business.

I don't remember when the LECs started, but a Rolex can be authentic without the LEC.

Also, there have been instances reported for dateless models where the LEC is not at 6:00.

Are you sure they do?

Pretty sure the green Milgauss does NOT have the LEC.
