Does the Coronet always appear between Swiss/Made @ 6:00

I was just window shopping on a site that shows the actual pictures of the watch for sale from many angles and found a picture of a Rolex DateJust 41 without the Coronet logo between Swiss/Made, it has the number 30 instead. It is listed as a 3235 movement and a 126303 Rolex DateJust. I chatted with a csr who said that sometimes Rolex will use a dial that doesn't correspond with the details listed. This watch is listed as a 3235 movement, 70hr power reserve, paraflex shock absorbers, blue parachrom hairspring etc....but the dial doesn't have the Coronet Logo between the words Swiss/Made at 6:00.....has anyone come across something similar. ie 3230,3285 etc without the Coronet Logo at 6:00?

It may very well be that the earlier 32 series movements have a dial without the crown on the bottom. Some of the earlier SD43 have that as well. The dial should be in the catalogue for that DJ.

I’ve seen examples of the laser etched crown not at 6 but at various other hour markers.
If no etching at all perhaps a service crystal.

It seems that the crown has replaced the 30 on the 126303 during 2020. According to stock sales, it is possible to have 2021 still with the 30

The crown in the dial is independent of the installed 32xx movement. My early 126600 has no crown at 6 pm, later SD's (and other Refs) normally have the crown.

Well depends on manufacturing time. A friend has an early WG DD40 that came from factory with a rhodium dial / no coronet at 6 and he got the green dial through RSC Dallas; it now has the coronet so the coronet does not necessarly means said watch came from factory with it installed

And the factories printing the dials as they are made in 3 different factories now all owned by Rolex. So there is no 100% exact timeframe when the tiny crown appeared between the Swiss Made.

Bought mine in 2017. The coronet was added with the 2018 production

My DJ41 from 2019 has the crown at the six. I think earlier models had the 30.
