Question about AP 15450 Series J

Does anyone owned AP 15450 new series? Please help me verify if your AP back case engraved only series and Royal Oak text like mine in the picture? I have noticed that some has engraved N and number on top of series.

Thank you.

New models have changed simply to the alphanumeric series letter and the watch number following. There is also a movement number on the main plate under the balance wheel. This started in the newer J series.

Previously the watch number “J Xxxxxx”, the movement number as well as the case number were displayed.

I personally liked it when there were all 3 numbers present. Adds an extra level of authenticity when verifying a watch not directly bought through an AD or Boutique (as in buying pre-owned).

My 2 week old YG 15450 shows a J serial on the back, and as you can see from this pic, there is no "Case No" engraved on the upper half of the caseback.

Interesting to note though that on the RG Jumbo 15202or that I recently tried on, the "Case No" is still engraved on the top half of the caseback.
