Icon17 Anti-Counterfeit measures/stampings not normally seen

I've heard of the laser etched-coronet on the crystal, several engravings on rehaut (serial number, Rolex crown and Rolex logo). So today, I was helping a friend adjust his band (he was testing a different bracelet) and I uncovered the following on his DeepSea between the lugs and on the bracelet.

Model no. (sigh... I really wish they would've come out with a different model no. than this...):


"Stainless Steel" engraved:


Etchings on either end of the bracelet:


A better view of the coronet:

The intra-lug engraving is common knowledge, you'll see posts displaying that from time to time, as well as pictures accompanying online auctions. Haven't seen the bracelet engraving before.

Not to worry. On the DSSD, Rolex have left out the serial no. on the case. But you can see it at the 6 o'clock position on the rehaut ring.
