ive searched all over for any trusted dealers that provide 36mm daydates with either the 1 or 2 dot markings on the winding crowns instead of the straight line. ive only seen them on the newer daydate II's. any dealers out there?

On a genuine Rolex Twinlock, the two dots under the coronet denote white gold, while the single dot means platinum. Steel and yellow gold get the straight line. There's a good chart available if you Google Image Search "rolex crowns".

It looks like all the DD reps have single-line crowns, while all the DD2 reps have double-dot crowns. Most likely, the rep manufacturers used a WG model as the template for the latter.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Anyone who notices the wrong crown probably already knows that the case isn't made of WG or platinum.
