I love the daily posts of what our members are wearing! So many beautiful watches! Let’s consider the crowns on these beauties and create a visual registry of watch crowns. This may prove helpful in determining if a vintage piece has the right crown before deciding on a purchase.

 

I do not have anything too fancy...manual winding DeVille...

 

I do have an old bottle with a Crown! Passed on from my dad. We do not really drink a lot of Rye!

 

I like the idea, but it will only be helpful if you also provide the case reference and the movement serial number (or year of the watch).

 

Makes sense!

 

Tudor Prince Oysterdate ref 7966 that I am wearing today. I had the crown replaced but kept the old one (pictured). A good friend of mine had the crown on his 1950s Tudor changed and he ended up with the Tudor shield crown. Now he hates his watch!

 

Universal Geneve Compur circa 1938 with Fisherman’s Knot.

 

Someone with a Tank, Ballon Bleu, Panerai or IWC will hopefully one day show me some really really cool crown pics...

 

Triple crown

 

We felt like king and queen in early 90s with these...

 

You didn't say exactly which crown...

 

Very cool! I will send you similar crowns tomorrow!

 

Some vintage Rolex action. Who said there is no need for rodico?

 

All those crowns, and not a Crown in sight.....

 

Older Breitling...

 

They look old!
