Re: YM and serial numbers
I am somewhat confused.
In regards to Yacht Master... When did Rolex start engraving/etching (what ever you call it) the serial number along with words ROLEX under the crystal? 2006, 2007??? OR does it go by serial number "Z" "M"? Reason why... I see one Z with the etching (claiming at least to be a Z) and I see other Zs without. Personally I want one with the engraving. Many thanks in advance for your response. |

It depends on the watch model. There are Z serial Submariners out there without it, but I believe some DJs had it earlier. For the Sports models, it started somewhere in "Z" so what you are seeing makes sense.

Rehaut engraving happened at different series for different models.
I think it happened for the YM late in the Z series. |
