Finding the ‘Rolex Coronet @ 6:00….

[Winsor]

After days of staring at the face of my SD trying to find the etched coronet it appeared like magic! It was anxiety on steroids! Such relief!

They can be hard to find.

I know the feeling. Took me several days to find them on both of my watches. I knew they had to be there, because I bought them at an AD. I was determined to see them, though. Then, like you said, they suddenly magically appeared.

I can see it sometimes when I take a photo with the flash on my cell phone. Really the only time I can see it.

The cell photo with flash usually works. I can also see etching using a 10X LED loupe. It does take moving the watch to a few different angles to see!

I've found that older watches, like my BLNR from 2016 is easier to see than the two newer (2023+) watches that I've acquired.

The BLNR I can easily find the coronet with just my phone's magnification app. The othe two I've had to use a 10x loupe.

Try using your phones flashlight against the crystal and view at a sharp angle with watch face pointing away from you.

I’ve found that using my iPhone’s flashlight and a 10x loupe, while looking at the rehaut at 6:00 area works best.

...and good luck finding the crown if you have a white dial (like an Explorer II Polar).

Anyone with an explanation for this?

[PT_91]

Sorry but you shared so many details that I couldn't decide what to focus on

[twitch54]

my first car was a 1965 Coronet .........

Do you mean 2018 Sub?

Are you asking about the laser etched coronet? If so, there many LEC threads.

Otherwise, it could be a newly issued movement.

[0nly5iv3Digits]

That's pretty suspiscious assuming you're not talking about the LEC.

[Winsor]

No, the etched ‘crown’ is there as should be the crown between Swiss and made started with the ‘12’series.

You are asking about the coronet to indicate the first issue of a new movement?

Use phone magnification (iPhone). Works every time for me. Just took this
