Crown coronet variants?
What's the significance of the different marks directly below the coronet on Rolex crowns. So far I've seen them with a "+", "-" and "..."

On newer crowns, the number and type of dots under the coronet indicated Twinlock or Triplock, and the watch material.
Acero = steel Oro Amarillo = yellow gold Oro Blanco = white gold

"+" indicates a Brevet crown. Brevet means Patent in French. The marking and verbage was common in the 50's. Later Rolex dropped the word but continued to use the "+" for a while (I think around 1958 or so) untill switching to the underline on the crown indicating twinlock.
