Does anybody know when Rolex started printing the nomenclature on the Sea-Dweller caseback, verses the older 16660 which had the caseback lettering recessed & then painted?

Did Rolex ever use the recessed engraving/stamping on the 16600 caseback? I think I remember seeing pictures of older 16600's w/ the recessed lettering, but cannot seem to find the post. If the letters were recessed at some point, does anybody know what serial prefix switched to the printed-only caseback?

thanks.
