Does anyone know where I can buy one? I have a datejust but don't know anything about these watches. I just saw a crown with a diamond and thought it would look nice on mine. Any leads will help Ty.

Cartier does that, not Rolex!

Never have seen one even Aftermarket on a Rolex.

Perhaps you could ask a jeweler to make one fit on yours?

That would be my guess at least, otherwise, as Fifth Ave Rolex Man said, you will have to go with an aftermarket piece but I believe Rolex will take it off if you send your watch to RSC for a service. Good luck on your quest and post pictures if you find one!

I just saw one on a datejust on the net... But I haven't seen any others. I guess Ill ask my jeweler to make one out off an extra crown..

Buy an aftermarket crown, don't let the jeweler to make this experiment on your crown

i rather like the idea , it may just look the very best , if its done well , but i dread to think how bad it could look too ,,, try a bit of blue tac and a rhinestone as a mock up first....

I just bought a spare crown for $40 USD took it to the jeweler and said I need to get the diamond now.. I'll go to the pawn shop and buy a cheap 3/4 ct. The one I saw in the Internet had the head of the diamond inside the crown and the tip outside and was half way out. I liked how it looked, so wish me luck on the project.

WOW, you joined yesterday Nov. The 27th, claimed you " don't know anything about these watches" and yet you have already found a correct spare crown "like an old pro" in a day to do a ridiculous modification that might have provoked a lot of comment here

I am glad most members are not taking the bait on this one

Well I asked a jeweler if he had a crown that fit my watch and ofc he sold me one for $40 USD. I really don't know nothing about these watches! I bought mine in 2007 and haven't even taken it to get serviced at all! When I adjust the time or the month, there is green stuff on there from my sweat. I just saw a picture of a datejust with a diamond on the crown and looked kewl. I already have a bezel with 42 princess cut diamonds and a diamond dial. Just making an upgrade to see how it turns out. It's my only rolex and the only one I will ever own. I'll post a picture when it's done. I'm trying to find a diamond cuz the jeweler wants an arm and a leg. Total $$$ on these upgrade will be $240. If I find a cheap diamond on a pawn shop.
