new member intro and submariner question
Hi, I'm new to the forum.
 My question,...when did Rolex start etching their name repeatedly around the inside of the bezel? i just bought a new sub and was curious as to when they added this feature. thanks. |

Larry is right, it started at some point with the "Z" series serial number, if I am not mistaken.
Welcome anyway So does the serial number of your Submariner start with a "Z" or a "M"? Either way you can say you have a brand new watch

Adam:
The only difference is about less than a year of production. If it's a brand new watch it does not matter at all. The "M" is just the latest, greatest is all. Nice watch. Terry Newton
