Need advice again ! I have a "M" SN 18k YG DD 36mm. I Have 10 times -21mm loupe. I've been trying to locate the Rolex symbol at the six o'clock position.I have other Rolex watches and I am able to pick it up in fairly short time.

Shine a flashlight on the edge of crystal and see if that helps you locate it.

If purchased pre-owned, it could be an aftermarket crystal.

More details needed. Do you know the history of the watch, did you buy it new, if so, where from?
