School me on the "Frog's Foot" please

[JGJG]

So, couldn't find much from a quick search...

When people talk about a "Frog's Foot" Rolex dial, what do they mean?

I'm assuming it's a semi-derogatory, semi-affectionate reference to how the 5-point crown logo device is rendered on the dial (?)

If so, what are we looking at that makes it a Frog's foot? Pics would be great!

Thanks :(

Excellent info Haywood. Do you generally wear the 'special' watches in your collection? And I have to ask if you have a favourite?

Sorry OP for minor thread hijack!!!
