I'm not worried the crown will break, but when the watch is resting like that all it takes is a little nudge and it topples onto the crystal, try it yourself. If the watch is on a table or near and edge that's unfortunate :-)

I believe it originally had a tritium dial and that one got replaced by its current original Rolex service dial with luminova. I was able to find a correct original tritium dial, I keep it in the box with the original bracelet while I enjoy the functioning luminova on this dial.

But the best of all, it's original papers are exactly matching my date of birth; a rare find that made it impossible for me to resist.
Welcome and very nice GMT you have there.
