Hi TRFers,

Let's play:

Using your phone camera (mine's a crappy Huawei because...) take a photo
and upload YOUR VERY OWN Rolex logo laser etched crown.

We all know Jocke would have the better photo, still let's give it our best shot.

Let's begin! Thank you for participating.

mine has it, but it's not possible to get a picture of it with a silver dial

RossHetherington · 7 February 2018, 06:28 PM

I've managed to see mine about twice so getting a photo of it is going to be a challenge.

What color dial do you have? The crowns are very hard to see, but are easier on the dark color dials.

Here's mine

Haha, this is a bit tricky as it has to be it the right lighting conditions and correct angle. Keep on trying. It took several tries and the wife calling me obsessed hahaha

Wow, it seems to appear as if it has 3 crowns etched. Nice

I’m totally obsessed too. Sometimes I stare at my watch just to watch the second hand sweep around

This is a pity, I tried to add a photo but I need to have 10 posts, I might get there in a month or two!

Can't even see it on my 16570 Polar, much less take a picture!

GradyPhilpott · 8 February 2018, 02:34 AM

For those who have problems seeing the LEC, shine an LED flashlight (your phone will do) from 12:00.

It will pop like nobodies business.

I don't remember when the LECs started, but a Rolex can be authentic without the LEC.

Also, there have been instances reported for dateless models where the LEC is not at 6:00.

Pretty sure the green Milgauss does NOT have the LEC.
