I had no problem seeing it on my random 14060m or any others but on my Fser. 16710 I thought it had a replacement crystal, I couldn't see it with my 10x loupe, It took my jeweler to find it under a microscope.

First Rolex have never made a series of any watch they are case serials, it was from 2001 on the Laser Etched Hologram started in the Crystal but not on all models at the same time.
