Not much at all. Looks like a foil liner on a cupcake.

Datejust?

Looks like a chocolate Rolex crown, Easter edition.

It is a Rolex crown made before 2010 then Rolex start with the Monoblock crown that only have a insert of steel threads pressed into the crown.
So now it's not just a cap of gold, it is a little more solid.

Interesting pic, but how the heck did it get in that state???

Is it yours?

Thanks

Jocke, I love your quote

“Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.”

Brilliant!!

The crown on modern PM gold Rolex models are solid 18k gold. No cheap "caps". That image looks horrid

[Jim Smyth]

I would hope there solid gold now.

[Boaters]

WOW it does look bad ^^^

[Dahh]

I can't make anything out of that. Looks like a decayed bone

[yoniman]

This macros and infos are so cool @Jocke!

I envy your photographic skills!

[fmc000]

Is it from your old Datejust you wear while working in your bodyshop?

How long was it at the bottom of the ocean?

[Flybak]

That's a very sad looking crown. Glad to hear the manufacturing process has shifted to include a more "solid" gold crown now.

Thanks for sharing Jocke, never would have questioned the metal composition before your photo

[Bladeshot]

I certainly did not expect that. Thanks, Jocke!

[faimag]

Looks more like one of those chocolates they serve at ADs!!
