Is how easy the crown is to use! I know, it's such a minor detail, but it's the first watch I've had where the crown is wide enough to really grip and also has no friction when I'm trying to screw it down. My IWC and Breitling for example have some resistance once I've started screwing the crown in, but the Rolex just glides into place until it's locked tight. Is that a stupid thing to be happy about or what

Nah, quite normal, actually.......but I shudder to think how many orgasms you might have if you have to fiddle around with a TRIPLOCK crown!!

I actually have tried that crown as well, on the YM. Even easier to grip. My favorite set up, though, is the Exp. I, because the lack of crown guards make it so easy to operate. I just love how smoothly it works.

Wow! Once you are hooked, (I mean to a Rolex) it does not matter handling which part of a Rolex gives you the desired kick. The only time I feel friction is when my wife senses I am on my way to buy another Rolex. Keep playing with the Crown before you go down.

Well, read the line before it. What do you think he has to do for permission to buy another Rolex?

Yeah.........you've got words like "wife", "friction", "crown" and "down" all in one sentence!! Very dodgy and misconstruing I might add!!

Or in the case of crown threads that get a big "tangled," a mustache... Not that I've ever done that, of course

I'm staying out of this.

Although I have to say that I really do like the crown on my DSSD.

It has just the right feel.

It's Big the way I like it.

This is what happens when you guys are allowed to play without adult supervision.

JJ! That is only caused when you add Vaseline to the screw down triplock crown!
