Also, does the Sea-dweller crystal have the etched Rolex "Coronet"?

Err buddy...IF it suits you better with Luminova...you can get the correct replacement with RSC...(perhaps you can also convince RSC that you wanna keep the original Tritium Dial n Hands).
Value wise...collectors would prefer the watch to be in its original state as possible. The decision is entirely up to you.
Your 1996 Sd would not have the etched coronet on its Sapphire crystal...originally.
Hopes that helps...
