Have you actually read the that comment?

I have. The "S" means service replacement (crystal), so not original to the watch ......

finally i found mine hehehe, very hard to see but it's there hehe

Atomant · 11 December 2010, 03:28 AM

Glad to know it's still there!!! I've stopped looking for that LEC since after my first Rolex 16600 SeaDweller.

SS Oyster · 11 December 2010, 03:31 AM

It's not on my Sub-C LV "V" serial

Sparky1970 · 11 December 2010, 04:20 AM

It's doesn't seem to be on my 14060 (2001), better stop looking now as I'm starting to go boss-eyed..... :-(

I couldn't see mine until Sunshine pointed it out. I looked at it with a loupe, and saw nothing. I was looking at it straight on. I had to move it to the side so that it had a black dial brackground. It was blending with the lume marker at the 6 o'clock.

Two months of looking, and now I can see it pretty clear.

Both my watches have the etch and I'm a happy camper to be fortunate to own two rolexes!!!

SS Oyster · 11 December 2010, 09:33 AM

Actually, I found mine ... thanks for the "how to find it" info. This one is harder to see than my previous ones, but it's definitely there.

The best way for me to see it is the angle the crystal about 45" to the horizon and then tilt the dial so my eyes are looking from the 7 o'clock position. This gives me the best angle and also doesn't allow it to hide in the 6 o'clock stick on my sub-c.

thesmallwave · 11 December 2010, 09:43 AM

I've got it on my Sub C black at 6 o'clock.I think that i've seen it even on a fake Daytona before, is this possible?Or the watch was genuie?

kwokhhc · 11 December 2010, 10:59 AM

is the LEC available on the Explorer II? I bought a new one last week but can't find the mark. Thanks.

You are SO RIGHT.! I could not find crown for ages, then I tried using my phone's LED flash light. Boom! There. So easy to spot it now. Thank you!

goldrolielove · 21 November 2012, 01:44 AM

The domed crystal on my DSSD makes it very difficult to see..... But it's there.

WatchWeb · 21 November 2012, 05:43 AM

Yup there on my 4 day old GMT2C.

Shining light from my iPhone while taking image with my iPad. I love my gadgets lol.

You can see a shadow of the LEC on the face in direct sunlight on my polar Explorer II. May not me as noticeable on a non-white face.

No reason to dig up this ancient thread..

Hope everybody finds their crown..
