Back case CRS marking?

[jguerrad]

Hello Forum members, does anyone know the meaning (or purpose) of the C.R.S. marking on some of the Rolex back cases?

[Richard Carver]

After a certain age Rolex allows watchmakers to mark watches they've worked on CRS (Can't Remember S**t ) so that QC knows to check for forgotten screws or whatever.

MaG thank you very very much for the clarification, would you happen to know the period in which he made cases for Rolex?

I´m sorry, i don´t know the period and if Rolex made cases for the manual wind Daytonas in the last years. Maybe other members can tell you more about these
