1655 Frog Foot Coronet??

[kay13]

Hi All,
I have been trying to learn to spot a Frog foot coronet, but I am still not sure, some of both the 1655 MK1 and MK2's, look to have the frog foot Coronet to me.

Can an expert eye tell me if this 1655 MK1 Dial, is a Frog Foot Coronet Dial? https://imgur.com/1svj5lh

Would you say this is a Frog Foot Coronet?

Interesting - i've always felt that MK2 and MK3 are more frog footed than Mk1. Obviously MK3 has the addtional distinction of being a rail dial as well. I have an MK2 dial with an MK1 bezel which is quite cool...

This could help you visualize why some dials are called frog foot. Mk2 is the most identifiable one, but mk1 through mk3 differ significantly from the rest and from the coronets on other rolex models (though I believe some 1016s also have the frog foot).

My 6.7 has the mark5 dial, not the frog foot but oh well

Well there isn't any value attached to it as far as I'm aware. It's just quirky looking.
