Hi guys,
first of all i have been a long member of Rolex forum and today i finally joined the the Rolex owners club as well. 2016 was important year for me and i purchased myself a nice 2008 116200 36mm Datejust. It was polished and had service done this year. I purchased it from authorised rolex dealer and it was in fact an owners watch. (i know him on personal level). I got nice deal, two year warranty and decided to finally threat myself.

BUT

When i compare the crown on clasp of my 116200 36mm Datejust (bottom on both picutres) to my wifes new 2017 31mm Datejust i noticed that my crown is much different then hers.(please see the photos). Her watch was never polished and my was. My crown was definitely polished because hers crown still has little 3D feeling and my does not. I am a little worried about my polished crown. I heard that some people like to polish the crown so it makes nice contrast but on the other hand i feel like i got screwed on it. Any suggestion,advices?

Ok, thank you for quick answer.

It calmed me down.
The watch is really great and i am wondering why i haven't bought Rolex before.

Yep, that means the one you bought for your wife probably was not as new as you were told.
Still a good sharp crown.

Wrong way around it just means the one on his DJ has lost some definition due to being polished, which OP was aware of and nothing to worry about just enjoy your watches

It's all good...just part of the blood-curdling anxiety of becoming a first-time Rolex owner.
