Sea Dweller Crystal

Hi!

I just got a 2nd hand Sea Dweller today. The thing is, it doesn't have the laser-etched coronet on the crystal (at 6 o'clock pos). I read that this is one of the identifiers for a genuine one. It's a 2000-2002 model 16600.

Do all models have this etched coronet?

Many thanks!

Should post this in the general topic section. From what i have read it could be anywhere on the crystal for and SD, you will need to look at the entire crystal and it will be pretty hard to spot without magnification and a very good light source.

Won't have it. The etching started more or less on certain models in 2003.
