Vintage crowns on Subs, Day Dates, and GMTs....what is the difference?

Besides Twinlock and TripLock, I've seen underlines, 3 dots, elongated crowns. Is there a definitive guide to "original" crowns? I know some collectors assume the original crowns were replaced as part of a service. Does it matter to you?

Thank you in advance,
Larry

It's a weird website if you get deep I to it. I'm sure there is a thread around here with the same information but I didn't see it in a quick stroll through the reference section
