Yeah it really is nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. I had my.phone light and another light shining on it just to capture it.

If you could see it with the naked eye it would be a fake. Using you phone flashlight and finding the right position you can see it. Oh, a good loupe will help.

Also, if the watch is pre 2000 it won't have it. After 2001 is when they started to engrave the laser crown. Also, the Milgauss with the Green crystal does not have it..

The elusive laser etched crown! That's a great picture. Did you just use a macro lens or macro setting?

Yep should be there. 6 o clock, you should see it at an angle. Tilt it under a light.

When I saw the picture, I had to go look at my watch too. That was a great detective work buddy.

The hologram is always a cool thing. I heard some super replicas are doing the same now too though

If you run a finger across from 9 o'clock to 3 o’clock and hit a light from 12 o’clock it will show much easier

Yes. Use the flashlight from your phone and aim for the 12 o'clock. The reflection from the rehaut will reflect towards the 6 o'clock and you should be able to see it. Being in a dark room also helps. I have a loupe with a light and it's real easy to find. Just take your time..

Yes but it is very hard to do. Most I've heard or seen it js plainly visible and not etched on the inside of the glass. Also, the crown usually doesn't look right. Little flex by Rolex to show a hint of what you're paying for.

Also, it should look like little dots rather than etching in a straight line,, so it doesn't compromise the integrity of the crystal.
