Thought maybe some have never seen the difference between the original LEC and the service or "S" LEC so here is pics.

Alcan · 13 February 2008, 05:05 AM

You captured them well!

mailman · 13 February 2008, 05:21 AM

Wonder if my E series SD will come back with a crown on its saphire crystal too. Its been with RSc for 8 weeks so far

super pic

topcat · 27 February 2009, 01:49 PM

superb!!

tomee · 27 February 2009, 03:59 PM

are these stamped on all Rolex's with sapphire?

Nicolas · 28 February 2009, 04:25 AM

No not on all, but on most new models. Milgauss GV for example has no laser crown.

ROLEXOFMIAMI · 28 February 2009, 12:21 PM

what models have this ?

aelvin · 1 March 2009, 02:13 AM

Is this a marking that is on all Rolex watches?

Sorry for the newbie question.

Lots of great info here.

Just on newer ones and not even on all. According to above, the Milgauss does not have the etched crown.

bamajoe · 5 May 2009, 07:06 AM

Wish I could shoot like that..............Good Job!!!!!!!

rollie · 6 May 2009, 03:15 AM

I have a V serial Sub LV, would i have the s inside the crown?

GMTJOHNNY · 6 May 2009, 01:28 PM

I sent my DD into RSC in NYC for complete servicing, refinishing and a dial swap. It came back with NO LEC. My watch is from 1997.

Is this the norm?

I am not sure when LEC was started or when they started the "S" addition wither. Thoughts?

The only time you will have an S inside the crown is if the crystal was replaced during a service.

In answer to above, if your crystal did not have the LEC before service, even if the crystal is replaced it will typically not have the LED crystal after.
