That watch is in prime condition!!! Huge congrats on your choice!! It may be the next sky-rockateer price-wise, that is.
I have never seen such a crown before. Try to post it in the WatchTech forum. Maybe one of the genious' there have an explanation...

Sub'erman,

I posted on the general forum a separate thread about the crown... Looks too unified to me to be polishing holes...

Andreas I think you believe this is something it isn't.

Here's what I think happened.

Someone polished the crown a little bit too much and got some small pinholes, then realized they overdid it and "opened" them up for a more uniform look.

OK, well if that is true, the result is pretty cool, as long as it holds water!

This definitely seems to be a very plausible explanation.

As I said, would love to find out the real truth behind it, but as long as it's 100% waterproof, I like the little holes.

Maybe Orchi would know?

We need a "Orchi light" to shine up in the sky!

Did it back in my youth and it cost me a couple of crowns.
