Seadweller 2006

Hi looking at adding this to my collection, it's from a seller on ebay, it's a 2006 seadweller, looks like it has a few knocks etc.. my only concern is that at the 6 0 clock where it says Swiss Made, it doesnt have the longer indent between 'swiss' and 'Made' like my 2008 one has, is this correct for a 2006 model? I have enclosed some pictures below.

The Rolex etching was never put on the seadweller, my 2008 hasn't got it. It was more the fact that the indent at 6 o clock wasnt as pronounced as the ones on the later models, can anyone comment on that???

Thanks!!

No harm in being careful.

Different watch but my 14060 dial looks the same as the one in question

Thanks AstraZen, no guessing where you work!!
I've checked the blowers site and he hs a 2006 model on there whichhas the same dial, it must be a slight change but just wanted to check, not so easy to return if it's from Japan!

By etching, the laser etched crown is on the crystal of my M-SD....if you mean the inside chapter ring (ROLEX-ROLEX-ROLEX) then no....
