Question to Rolex Submariner owners. I just purchased a used SubC no date on the forum from a reliable seller. I don't see an etched crown at the 6 o'clock position. Is that something that is not on that specific model of Rolex's? I have a Milgauss I bought from an AD and i know they do not have it due to GV crystal.

There's definitely one of my SubC ND, it's hard to see at first...requires good lighting and the right angle.

Found it, it's really hard to spot.

Good to hear!

I used a torch shone through the edge of the glass to see it on my Daytona, agree it is difficult to see and virtually impossible unless in the correct lighting.

I've got a sub no date also, it took me a while to find it.....it's tiny and can't be any more than 1 or 2mm in size......I held mine up at the window at an angle so the sun light to see it. Even then I really couldn't make it out, it just looks like a tiny smudge...it wasn't until I photographed it with my iPhone on closeup that I could make it out....it still want crystal clear but I could make out it was the Rolex crown........try it at you window with sunlight shining on it....the shape will be sort of like a tiny tiny tiny prism

What I did was shine a light from 12 at an angle toward 6 o'clock. That was the only way to see it.

Also noticed . There are 2 etched crowns. One left & one right on 6 o’clock.

Funny, I've had mine for a few months and assumed it wasn't there because it is an older model, but yeah, I just shined a light in the sapphire at an angle and it's there. Very small and thought it was a smudge at first. It also made me realize that my eyes are getting old as it's tough to focus on it (-;
