Rolex crown paperweight

I like to collect interesting Rolex novelties. I have come across these paperweights, has anyone ever seen these before? These are stainless steel and gold, weight is around 70grams.

Thanks

Thanks. The chap I bought them from said they were given to him upon the purchase of a SS SubC and TT DJ41, he said he saw them on display and simply asked if he could have one, not expecting to get either, but was gifted both.
I'd guess that dates them to fairly recently. I have seen the green glass crowns before but not this type.
I was wondering how common they are.

At least with these you can always make sure the crown is properly aligned.......
