Datejust questions

[PennsyBill]

1) When (serial #) did Rolex start engraving the inside of the bezel?

2) Same question for the alternating black and red dates?

3) If a watch has one of these will it also always have the other?

1. From around early 2007.

2. I think around 2005.

3. Not necessarily!!

As far as alternating red/black dates it depends on the dial. If you look in the back of an AD's Rolex catalog where it lists the dials available there's a little asterisk that shows which ones will have the red/black date wheels.
