Do you mean, someone who claims professional credentials on an internet forum and then trips himself up? And then turns hostile when he's called out? Yes, there is.

I refered to the your "Crown" as a button simply because "In the Trade" at least in the UK the crown is most often refered to as a "button" also most of the public refer to it as a winder not button and most certainly not crown...So in practice one tends to use the termanology that is most easily recognised.
When one needs a "crown" replacement with its stem, it is called a button and stem replacement...get it??
But I guess if all one does is read Rolex liteature from cover to cover this is easily understood.
Perhaps there are some here who base their opinions on having read Leica literature from cover to cover, so I can see where you might be confused OTOH I am a watch afficionado for many decades. Everyone everywhere (speaking English) who is even basically knowledgeable in watches calls it a crown. If you used the ignorant layman's term so to not confuse all of us whom you assume to be ignoramuses, then I apologise for questioning your credentials.
