Lazer etched crown

[harogers]

What series did Rolex start doing this to the crystal. ie.. F, Z, M?

[SPACE-DWELLER]

The LEC was introduced in 2001 (either P or K series), but SOME watches first got the LEC later.

So a F should have it?

It depends on when the F was made. I have a F serial ToG that has no etching because it was an early F....at least for that model.

Late Y SN. Had an early Y SN DJ without it and a late Y Sub with it.

Most of the Y-series ones would have it. After Y, came the F, then D, then Z and now M. All of these should have it.

When did the "ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX" around the inner dial start?

From some of the late Z-series (my late Z-series YM has it) and all of the new M-series.

I will say late A serial have it too, at least YM who was the first watch with it in 1999.

The CRB (Chapter Ring Branding) started in 2004 with the introduction of the new Datejust style.

My F definitely doesn't have it.
