I have 2 new watches, 116200 and 114200 and a 16203 'U' which just came back from RSC with a new crystal. I can't see the crown at all. Can someone tell me where it is? Thanks

It's there, it's just really hard to see with the naked eye. You can either get a strong magnifying glass (loupe). You'll be able to see it then. Some guys take at photo at a slight angle with a digital camera to see it. If the Crystal is a replacement it will have a "S" though the crown to show that the crystal has been replaced at a service.

If your "U" has a Service replacement crystal, it will have this......

You can see how tiny they are in relation to the dot on the bezel - smaller than the head of a pin.

Thanks Larry that was not how I had envisioned the "S" I had only read about it, nice photo.
