Question: laser etched Rolex crown on modern datejust

[joe narvey]

I can’t find the laser etched crown on a recently acquired datejust. Does anyone know if Rolex do this to all models ?

I’m aware it was post 2002 and understood it to be all models now, juts can’t find it.

Can’t amswer the model question, but shine a torch in from the SIDE of the crystal and the etching should be very visible.

Joe , its rock hard to see The coronet in normal light. As suggested above use side incident light then it will appear

I am pretty sure it should be there. Like others have suggested, shine a light at an angle to the sapphire.

I’ve tried LED torch and a UV torch top side and across, nothing. I can see it on my other watches just not this one.
Using a x2, x5 and x15 loupe. Nothing!

Any service history. It's possible that someone has put an aftermarket crystal in?

You can usually see it with a loupe.

I know the green crystal on the Milgauss GV doesn't have one, but I thought the rest did.

I bought it from the AD (WoS) last week as a gift. It’s genuine, just can’t find it.

Will get my microscope out this weekend and see if that works.

Was wondering the same actually - do we know if it’s all models? I’ve tried to search but nothing is coming up weirdly...

In that case it should be there. Get a loupe, a torch or go in the garden.

You think finding it is hard, try taking a photo of it

I have also tried to distinguish the crown at my dj41, purchased from Goldsmiths last year, but nothing.. no idea if it is there or not.. but to be honest, I do not worry much about it .

Wahoo !!

Found it. 15x loupe with an LED torch across the face from the 2oclock position.
