Perhaps? Maybe it has another name in other countries? (trunk / boot, soccer / football)

Relax it was just a jab about his user name being the "Rolex Authority" as he should have known the answer to his own question as he is the "authority". Geez...just a little harmless interweb sarcasm.

Yes, in some literature, but it's widely called a crown. You'll see "button" once in a while though.

From people not knowing the correct word and having a limited vocabulary, I expect.

Are you sure they don't mean one of your Daytonas push buttons?

No this is for service of a 1665 DRSD not Daytona.
Daytona buttons I can understand if used but here it's being referred to a Sea Dweller. Interesting term for sure wonder if anyone else who has recently got a service quote from RSC ( non Daytona ) eg for a dive watch , GMT if it mentions word button or crown ?

No it's ok you're right in some cases in here you do need a thick skin when you post questions and see some responses I have seen some very harsh comments / insults made also which you're right are totally unecessary and anyone without a thick skin would be offended

Relax guys, that was pretty funny, and very tame compared to what's mostly out there.

I use crown, but I've heard it called both.
Rolex themselves refer to it as the winding button on their "how to regulate" notes from way-back-when.
