Yes it should. I bought a domed yg brand new and when my watchmaker removed the fluted both undersides were identical. With the stampings.

=just checked it, and yes it is stamped.
The fluted bezel on my datejust split some months ago and when I had it replaced by RSC I kept the old one as a souvenir. Just got it out of the box to check it and to my surprise it is stamped with a absolutely minuscule Rolex crown within a tiny circle. The whole circle is about a millimeter in diameter and I needed my magnifiers to see it.

According to my watchmaker, the older bezels lack Rolex markings. The newer bezels have the two marks others have mentioned. I recently bought a WG 18K and a YG 18K fluted bezel for 2 different lady date-justs, and both lacked any markings. The SS domed bezel we removed from my wife's Ref. 6916 also lacked any markings.

The reason for no hallmark on the older Rolex bezel's is they did not have to worry about copies being made. I know in the 1980's bezel's were being hallmarked as well as other things. Interesting on one of my Rolex movement's, nothing is stamped to indicate it is a Rolex.
