When did Rolex start etching the words ROLEX inside the bezel on the Yachtmaster?

Just curious as to when Rolex started etching the words ROLEX on the inside of the bezel on the YACHTMASTER watch. I am going to look at a Z series watch that is for sale nearby and wasn't sure if it should have the etching. Thanks.

My understanding is it was late Z series when it began on the YM.I have a Z model that does not have the engraved rehaut,but understand that others with later Z models do have it.

Hope this helps!

So a Z series from 2007 possibly would NOT have it?
