Rolex GMT II with a NON twin lock crown? What should it have or NOT have?
I was looking at a GMT II yesterday again, which I have had on layaway for a while. I noticed the crown has a line under the Rolex crown. I thought it should have had a twin lock though I am no expert in the matter.
It is a coke GMT II, serial start with a 96xxx which is 1986 or so I think. Would someone have switched the crown out perhaps? Also, the bracelet is a jubilee with slight stretch, nothing major. The end links were marked 402 or something from what I could see. Dial is tritium and hands are too, they appear original. Any GMT experts want to chime in? |

A line under the coronet signifies a Twinlock

I remember seeing this diagram before, and according to it, two dots signifies a Twinlock on a white gold model

Its cool X2. The twin lock for the GMT II SS has the coronet with a single underscore (heck, even mine)! You are good to go! Repeat, you are good to go! Enjoy that Christmas watch!!
