The etching on my crystal

I posted a picture a while ago of the laser etched mark on my crystal. Here's another shot using the new lens. This crystal is a replacement, hence the "S" at the base of the crown.

Again, an excellent macro photo of something that is practically invisible! I have replaced the crystal on my Datejust recently, and I can see the etched coronet on mine with my jeweler's loupe. It has the "S" as well, but the lower portion of the coronet, including the "S", is actually on the side of the crystal - the coronet overlaps the edge of the crystal.

Anyway, great photo, Adrian!

Must be, therefore, a fake. On the genuine ones you can hardly see the crystals unless you use a 10x loupe!!

Allan, your a good man and I've enjoyed your company thus far. therefor, I have to say this one thing to you -

DON'T DO IT!

JUST SAY NO TO THE SKYPE THING! The freak really does sing and it's awful
Besides, you'll never get a word in edgewise He sounds like the teacher from the Charlie Brown cartoons going on and on and on and on

Thanks for the warning, bro. I don't have a headset and mike, so can't do any of that right now. So you say... NEVER is the choice I should make? LOL

You just wait till the next time we SKYPE. I'll sing you the ORANGE PO song I just made up....

Ed, oh Ed....you're a tosser on the bed,
The Orange PO will make you twist and turn,
Always wanna make you yearn,
For the finest watch there is out there,
It will have you pulling the roots out of your hair.
