Question

Do all of the Z serial watches have the serial number etched on the bezel?

Its one the case, but definitely not on the bezel.
The bezel is the round thing outside.

That is called a chapter ring and no, not all Z series have the serial # here.

I have a 06 DJ and I don't have the serial engraved around the dial.
If its on my dial, then I will have another dilemma, I am going to only buy one with the serials I like.

Ummm, that still isn't called the inner bezel. I hope they don't do it with their SS watches... it's pretty tacky looking if you ask me. Imagine if Bentley put they're flying B in a pinstripe pattern that followed all around the car...



By the way;
That's a ring (sometimes called a chapter ring).

The Z is the first letter in the serial number. Which means the watch was manufactured from May 2006 to the present.

I just learned that

the T after the case ref number means it's a new style case (where the lug holes don't go all the way through).
