Addidionally, replacement crystals in the system at the time would not have the etching, so it's not really something that is right or wrong..

This thread isnt that old, so i thoguth i could add for others researching on this topic.
I just got a K series DateJust 16200, and I could not find the LEC. I'm still trying to figure out when they added it for the DJ. Btw, I spent over an hour with a flashlight trying to find that thing....it's not there. |

Kind of makes sense that its difficult to see and not all Rolex have it.
I have always bought high end Japanese brands in clothing and the majority of stuff is a magnet for fakers. The brands constantly change what they do to try to outwit the people selling fakes and even on good fakes there is usually something that gives it away. |
