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.

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

HAHAHA! I do the same thing almost every night when I go to bed. Part of my bedtime ritual has always been charging the lume. I will spend 60 seconds or more just watching the seconds go by before I go to sleep.

Everything is possible but sometimes a little harder.

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.
