I just purchased 2 new 2021 watches and I was photographing them and noticed the laser etched crystal was a different design. See below. The 2021 models are the Blue Faced Skydweller and the Yachtmaster II Everose. I have included a picture of my GMT Master II as well for reference to old LEC.

Interesting and thanks for posting. It looks like the new ones have a sloppy base to the coronet, unlike the old one that more closely matches the actual Rolex logo. I wonder why that is?

I was taking the same thing. I thought there was an error on the yachmaster II and came home to look at the skydweller and was semi relieved to see them both match. I agree though, the older LEC was much more pleasing.

I think the 's' in the laser etched crown indicates a service crystal

Maybe the machine that made those was on the fritz? Very strange.

I have two brand new watches, a TT SD43 ‘21 and a DSSD D-blue ‘21 and both are perfect.

They aren’t S’s in this case. They are brand new from AD.

Here you have something I have put together about the laser logo.

It may be symptomatic of supply chain issues, Covid 19 and all where they've had to dip into stocks of service parts

Thank you, great reference!

I think the dots (angled five-pointed stars when you look with a microscope) are etched at different depths, so when you view at an angle the coronet will appear 'sloppy'.

brandrea · 7 December 2021, 07:52 AM

Its quite apparent to me that your have MK1 and Mk2 coronets

Great reference. Thank you! It looks like it is a variation due to the antireflective coatings to me.
