Nice watch! Did you mean the crown logo etched on the crystal, or the winding crown?

Paul, I believe he means the etched crown at around 6 o'clock. I can see it clearly in the first pic.

I love the way you can almost see each beat per second on the first photo, great photo of the etched crown, that it so hard to see with the naked eye.

Hello,
Here is mine (I can't do a better picture with my old compact wide angle panasonic FX07...)
I put a led flashlight to see the crown.

Hope you'll enjoy it (this is my first post...)
