First Rolex, quick question.

I have a few good watches and finally picked up my first Rolex. It took a while as I thought the brand was too ubiquitous. I finally decided on the 50th anniversary submariner as the green spoke to me and I wanted something that is slightly rared than the black sub and did not care for the soda colors of the GMT II.

I wanted a pristine LNIB watch and finally found a M serial number that looks like it was sold yesterday. I received it today but I though that the M serial numbers had the RolexRolexRolex around the inside of the bezel. Did I miss something?

A quick picture that I snapped this evening.

Welcome! Ubiquitous huh? Well, at least you did not buy a Datejust!
Congrats on the Sub LV.

Some of the early 16610LV M Serial's did not have the engraving around the rehaut.
