guys, i tried everything...

flashlight, magnifying glass, loupe, my camera's macro and so

THERE IS NO LEC ON THE GV !!

Lol-x · 19 December 2007, 10:57 PM

A small price to pay for an otherwise very cool watch.
Seems like these things are unobtainable now.

SPACE-DWELLER · 19 December 2007, 11:07 PM

Well, as far as the LEC is concerned, "GV" seems to stand for "Gone, Vanished"

MAXI DIAL · 19 December 2007, 11:48 PM

No laser crown here...

And apparanly, the abbreviation "LEC" must be revised from "Laser Etched Coronet" to "Lost Etched Coronet".

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 December 2007, 12:12 AM

I wonder if the missing LEC on the GV has anything to do with the edge of the crystal being green?

Is the LEC on the clear crystal versions of the Milgauss?

Thani · 20 December 2007, 12:16 AM

stewie, domagugoe should show us.. they have the milgauss white and black

MAXI DIAL · 20 December 2007, 12:30 AM

stewie · 20 December 2007, 12:53 AM

ok I just checked my white face milgauss... no rolex crown etched in the crystal... hmmm maybe its a fake... hehe

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 December 2007, 12:58 AM

Whoa, that's interesting! Rolex omits the LEC on (basically) ONE model only!

Thani · 20 December 2007, 01:02 AM

this is getting very weird.. no LEC on all milgauss then??

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 December 2007, 01:06 AM

Seems like it.

stewie · 20 December 2007, 01:09 AM

maybe they it has something to do with the Milgauss itself (being able to not be phased by electrical fields, etc.) I dunno... maybe they grow the crystals different or something... Next time I talk to my AD I will ask him though....

stewie · 20 December 2007, 04:42 AM

**correction** I came home for lunch and looked at my Milgauss under a bright flashlight, and there IS the laser etching of the Rolex cornet, it is very, very hard to see on this watch, but it is there....

Demagogue · 20 December 2007, 06:56 AM

I can confirm that there is LEC on my clear crystal Milgauss. It's very hard too see but is there.

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 December 2007, 07:02 AM

Well, maybe SOME Milgauss watches were - mistakenly - issued without the LEC!

Because rumour has it that Rolex has had some "trouble" with the crystals for the Milgauss watches. This rumour has been brought up both here and on a German watch forum.

If this is true, owners of NON LEC Milgauss crystals should take very good care of those crystals since that would be a "mistake" that could make it very collectible.

f16570 · 20 December 2007, 07:06 AM

So it is does exist. HOORAH.
Whish I could see it on my Whiteface Exp II

Jocke · 20 December 2007, 07:17 AM

You have to check a little closer, it´s there.

It´s green too.

Jocke

Thani · 20 December 2007, 07:21 AM

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 December 2007, 07:26 AM

Okay, Thani, then just send your GV to me since it won't be as collectible as I guessed!

Where did you get that pic from, Jocke? NO Photoshop now, please!

Sorry, I don't get it! You state you cannot find the LEC, but you posted a pic in an other post clearly showing the LEC?
