What do owners think about the shape of the crown. Such a taper seems very unusual (is it based on another design?) and perhaps awkward to grip?
The crown ages exactly the same as the case - it's the same material. The shape is unique and I reckon it's taper is one of it's strong points - making it less likely to suffer from knocks and being caught as things "slip" off rather than get a grip. If you are a nail biter you might find it fiddly to extend the crown but I am not and don't.
