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. <a href="http://s768.photobucket.com/user/mikericboetius/media/GreenSub1_zpsbb3a8457.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx326/mikericboetius/GreenSub1_zpsbb3a8457.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo GreenSub1_zpsbb3a8457.jpg"/></a> |

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

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