I have a recently purchased Sub, ( mfg 2021) which looks perfect and accurate in every way except that I can't locate the etched coronet on the Chrystal at six o'clock. Are they still putting these there? Thanks.

If you look carefully, you will find it.

never2late · 15 October 2023, 03:57 AM

There is a small white coronet there between Swiss & Made. Is that what I'm looking for? Is this a new etching as it's nothing like the dotted coronet on my 2009 sub?

Porschen · 15 October 2023, 04:00 AM

No, it isn’t the small coronet on the dial - it is etched into the crystal. Shine a super bright light and look at various angles. You’ll find it.

Rolex1982 · 15 October 2023, 06:39 AM

Yes it should be there, it’s a coronet made of little dots. You need bright light and look from various angles to find it.

DavidSB · 15 October 2023, 07:11 AM

Use a 10x loupe and look at an angle from 12 towards 6 with very bright and keep moving the watch slightly and you'll see it pop into focus and then disappear. I think it's formed by laser-etched dots. It can be very, very difficult to see.

Yes - and I think the dots are various depths, making it even trickier to capture (and copy).

Daylight helps or shining a light across the face of the crystal
I couldn't see this with my naked eye but took a photo with an iPhone and it's then pretty clear if you zoom in
It almost appears to be a reflection

OSU1989 · 15 October 2023, 07:33 AM

I never see it looking at the watch straight ahead - look from the side and/or shine a bright light from the side.

brandrea · 15 October 2023, 07:40 AM

You probably see it one day when your driving and your hand is in just the right position on the wheel

I think that may be a reflection.

That's definitely the etching on the crystal. It's comprised of dots.

Sorry, you are correct.

There is a reflection in the photo, but if you look closer the LEC will appear.

Below, I overexposed the photo, zoomed-in, and you’ll see a larger, ghostly LEC.

Perfect for Halloween

I have trouble picking it up but in natural light with a loupe its easier to see

Space1970 · 15 October 2023, 08:20 AM

I’ll delete the images I posted as stupidly I showed the serial number
Thanks to 77T for posting the cropped version

*edit* I can’t delete the post

Very visible in this pic but must look at it from an angle compared to the light.

Yep...that is 1000% the best pic I have ever seen of the Starbucks...as a Hulk owner I never found the 126610LV very interesting until this pic...well done, sir!

CarlOver · 15 October 2023, 09:49 AM

If the crystal has been replaced, it might not be at the 6 o'clock position but it for sure should be there.

Now you will see it all the time especially in bright morning sun by the window.

PenDelicate · 15 October 2023, 07:23 PM

The coronet is inlaid by Celebrimbor with ithildin into the crystal, and can only be seen in starlight and moonlight.

Moondoggy · 15 October 2023, 07:33 PM

I’m sure it’s there, I just threw on my President after years of my eye sight tapering off, every time I look at it I think I have a GMT.
