My M serial watch has the serial number between the lugs and on the inside rehaut

For how many years was this transitional period where the number was signed in both places?

Late Z, M and maybe some of the early V.

Depending on the age of the watch some have serial only between lugs while others like some M serials could have it on the rehaut and lugs but nothing special about that. There is no real 100% cut off time frame,now some V serials had rehaut only, but all G and randoms from 2010 on will have serial on rehaut only.

I think it’s quite nice being transitional as I do like it in both places being a feature of the old and the new
