Not a thing to do as a matter of fact.

I'll count your dots if you'd like.

Ocd

I already take meds. Which, I suspect, is the cause of my counting obsession.

Sunday is gonna be a hoot!

I think it's cool that you counted them! I probably would have too if I could have seen mine in the close-up detail you got yours. Now, since I have tons of time on my hands where I can't do much physically I'll probably try! Thanks for the project!

I can't even find the dots or crown. But I really haven't felt the need to find it either

Has anyone counted the ridges on the fluted bezel yet?

I think I'll try counting the ones on my domed bezel first.

Nice Work! I'll be able to reference this fact in the future.

On another note, this may be a good selling point for AD sales people...

If you get a strong microscope you'll see that each dot is really another Rolex crown logo made of 152 smaller dots.

That's what most ADs will tell you as part of their sales pitch anyways.
