Crown between SWISS and MADE
When did Rolex start putting the crown between the words Swiss and Made?
Is this a way that the age of a Rolex can be estimated? Thanks. |

cor·o·net
/ˌkôrəˈnet,ˌkärəˈnet/ noun 1. a small or relatively simple crown, especially as worn by lesser royalty and peers or peeresses. I think the ROLEX Marque Depose is a "crown" or a "coronet"

I'm pretty sure we use the term coronet because pretty much every watch has a crown that you use to wind the watch. The rest of the crowns on a Rolex are called coronets to avoid confusion, although I still mostly call every Rolex crown a crown

Insofar as watches have crowns by which the watch is wound and/or set, in the case of Rolex, I think that it makes for less confusion to simply refer to the Rolex logo as a coronet.
That's my take on the subject.

So they're referring to the winder here, right?

What I am saying is that for the purposes of a discussion forum having two separate terms in the interest of clarity make sense and that is the rule I personally follow. To each his own.
