Congrats!

Please post a wristshot when you get the time!

Oh, btw.: On Rolex crystals there is a LEC (Laser Etched Coronet) edged into the crystal at 6 o' clock:

It is not easy to see with the naked eye, but if you use a 10x loupe and not at the 6 o' clock position at an angle in good lighting, you should be able to find the LEC. Another trick - if you want to see it with your naked eye - is to light with a small flashlight from the 12 towards the 6 o' clock position, again at an angle. This will literally make the LEC glow up for you to see with the naked eye.

Now, when you get a crystal exchanged, the service replacement crystal will sport an "S" inside the coronet of the LEC, standing for ("S")ervice.

Here is a pic of it:

Does this apply to ALL crystals? and when was this started. ie. what year?
