K series SUB and EXP 2 -micro etching on crystal?

Would these watches have the etching and if you were to replace a crystal on any Rolex would the new one have the etching?

If done by an AD, it would also have an S etched w/the crown. See related topic below..

a D would definitely have an etched crystal..

But, you know,,,,,it is really tiny and frequently needs bright side-lighting and a loupe to be able to see it.especially on a liter colored dial watch..

Yes, the LV M series does have it. Very hard to see with the naked eye but it is there. You may need a jewlers loupe.

Ok, I guess I will have to find a magnifying glass. I bought it from an AD so I know it is real...
