I have a certified Rolex GMT Master II Black, G Serial I bought thru a reputable AD. Who in fact had taken the watch in trade. They sent it back to Rolex for a complete service at like $900. They then offered it to be as part of there estate sales section. The watch came with a two year warranty and all kinds of paper work and and insurance certificate as to value. There was a minor issue with it and within a month I sent it back to Rolex through the Ad. It came back and works great and has been slightly better Than +2 a day. My question is why doesn't my watch have the laser etched crown at the 6oclock position or anywhere else. By the way this only bothers me when someone like you guys mentions it as how it should be there. Love the watch and when I got it looked brand new.

@mrp9498 4 жыл бұрын

I believe all pre 2002 watches don’t have the laser etched crown. Hope this helps you.

@CrownandCaliber 4 жыл бұрын

Mr. Perpetual is correct, but a G serial would be a Ceramic GMT Master II 116710, so it should have it. It is probably on the crystal, they are just super difficult to find. AND since it went to Rolex for service there is a chance you have a "Service" LEC crystal which would have a tiny "S" in the coronet. A tip on locating the LEC. Shine a bright light from 12 o'clock across the crystal and then look from 6 o'clock, being careful to not look directly into the light. Also make sure you're using a loupe to magnify the LEC. Good luck!

Rolex, Rolex, Rolex ....... Not only are there more luxurious watches, technically superior watches, better pedigreed watches, watches that are bred from actual watchmakers, watches that were BUILT in-house, Rolex watches are butt ugly. It turns a watch that should cost no more than $4,000 into $10-12,000+. I guess there really is a sucker born every minute. Yes, I am here to troll Rolex, not Crown and Caliber.
