Hey. Just pulled the trigger on a Clean V3 GMT ll Pepsi from one of the TD’s. Got all the QC pics and they all look great apart from the winder/crown. The Rolex crown stamp and 3 dots looks a little off. (Dots more ival and finger look thinner). This is my very first purchase of a rep and do not own any genuine to compare apart from internet pics. So, my only “daft” question is….Is it possible to change rhe crown out for an original winder? Apols if newbie poat is weong or in the weong place.

You can swap crown on Clean with gen I believe. Whether or not you'll actually notice this flaw in real life is different matter. Zooming in 50x always makes things obvious

That is really good to hear. I’m trying to work out how to load a comparison photo! But, I can see a gen winder ebay for £200 so if it ends up really obvious I can just swap it.
