2011 DJII crown on crystal

I recently purchased a DJII and have looked but been unable to see the etched crown on the crystal. Do the DJII's not have this crown?

Yes. They are pretty tough to see. Best way is in a darker room shine a flashlight at an angle on the crystal and it will show up. I can very rarely see it without a light. Its there.

Somebody suggested go into a dark room and shine a torchlight on the 12 position and the LEC will shine like a lit up beacon.

It is 100% there. I catch mine when I am sitting near my end table lamp. Very hard to see though. The first time I saw it I thought it was a spot on the crystal and spent 10 minutes trying to rub it out lol..... Then I googled and checked trl and learned about it!

I found it. I held a flashlight at the 12 oclock marker and looked towards the 6 marker.
