it's common knowledge that there are three dots on a rolex triplock crown.............. whereas two dots or a dash for a twinlock crown.......
however, not everyone knows that the central dot is larger for a white gold triplock crown as shown on the rolex white gold submariner (pic below) ....
maybe it's an intentional move by rolex ........ to enable their technicians to differentiate the materials of the winding crown with ease.......... stainless steel, white gold and platinum do look very similar ............
while a person can obviously tell the difference in weight between a platinum and steel watch easily, the size and mass of a small winding crown can be a liability in this case.......... a person cannot be depended to judge the difference between 2 items of very similar weight.......
like the deepsea, the new range of submariners come with the brilliant glide-lock oyster bracelet.............. simply breathtaking in its concept, design and operation.............. i dare to say rolex has completed wiped out the competition with this new bracelet............
