I sent an inquiry in regarding the laser etched crown here is the reply:


Dear Jeweller,

Thank you for your inquiry. Kindly note that the laser etched engraving is extremely difficult to see and normally would be located at the 6 o'clock side of the watch. However, as your customer's model is a Sea-Dweller, it would not necessary be placed at the 6 o'clock side. We would suggest using a 25x loupe to search the entire EDGE of the crystal (the laser etching will be located at the very edge of the crystal, the bottom of the laser etched crown almost touches the edge of the crystal). Please advise us if we can provide you with any further assistance.

Sincerely,

After Sales Service

So did you search the entire edge of the crystal? What did you find?

A laser pointer works well too.

That's the easiest way to see mine!

Okay. Good news I think, but didn't you say you used everything short of an electron microscope and still couldn't find it even checking the entire crystal?

So are you just going to take their word for it? In the right light I can almost see mine with the naked eye and certainly with a 10x loupe. Let us know if you ever see it.

That's cool!
