a Rolex Submariner without a crown on the dial? I was looking at a couple of Rolex at a shop and tried on a Sub. I noticed that there was no crown on the dial. I asked the guy behind the counter and he said that it was common in 1985. I have never seen any Rolex without the crown and found it odd.

I've seen a blacked out Sub, but never heard of one without a crown. Sounds like poo poo.

Took me a while, but this is the best I could do. Notice, no crown on dial above word Rolex.

The crown, is the "trade mark" of the manufacturer.

It is "registered" and "protected" so only "their" products can bear it.

No trade mark, means that the "item" is NOT made by them.

Oh, I have seen that before......Note the "R" is really an "F" for Folex

See if he will open-up the case so that we can take a gander of the movement.
