First time posting

Hi everyone, this is my first posting. I read that the laser hologram on the crystall was introduced sometime in 2001. But I can find it on my DJ which was only recently bought. Any reply would be appreciated.

It is not easy to see, many will suggest using a loop. I can always spot mine when I am outside and and the sun is bright, you just need to look at a slight angle and it will pop out at you.

If it's easy to see, then it might be a fake.

Welcome to TRF. You need to hold it a slight angle to really see it. If you still can't, I would suggest you take it back to the AD & have them show you how. Good Luck.

Hold the face at eye level. Hold a flashlight in the on position pointing at 6'oclock toward 12. As you look down eye level - you should see it down around 6.

Good Luck.

I haven't tried it but I've been told it's easily seen with a laser.

Using a laser pen, if you hold it at the right angle the crown will appear. The crown is etched, hence the laser will show it as an imperfection in the crystal.
