have a torch at 12 oclock position and shine towards 6 oclock marker, using a 10x loupe you should see it light up.

At certain angle with light deflect above also can see, but the above method is easy... but you must equipt.

Use a loupe... Or borrow reading glasses... If its the original crystal, you will ne able to see it.

I think the Laser Etched Coronet (LEC) was intorduced in 2002 and should be present from the Y series onwards. It can usually be seen through the reflection of light at certain angles.

thanks guys for the reply
still trying to use the above-mentioned methods


i used the small led light from my keychain
shine at 12 0'clock
also tilting the angles
still see no have
maybe my eyes need to zero first

then borrow a reading glasses from next table 'aunty'
also cannot
the reading glasses is oily

maybe go home use big torchlight liao
maybe the eye loupe can help
but i don't have loupe
hmmm
anyone know where can i buy one and also what 's the cost of it
just to check first in case i really need one

I have a question here...

If I have an "A" series GMT 16700, send to RSC to change its crystal glass. Will get the LEC on the new crystal?
