Is Deep Crystal have laser-etched crown ?

[promax01]

Hi everyone, I installed the deep crystal for my Clean Daytona about a week ago, I can see the huge different. Today I just certainly remember the laser-etched crown, so I just check but see no laser-etched crown on my deep crystal for my Daytona ( because Daytona have no date window, so is hard to find laser etched, but I trying for 5 minutes and still not see it), the stock clean has it. I got Deep directly from Xing. Is anyone the same?

It's there, but they are using the invisible laser etching method. That's why you can't see it.

Just kidding...

Have you tried asking the manufacturer / supplier of the crystal?

Most of the "typical" Deep comes with LEC. DEEP is one of the collective names for aftermarket crystals in PRC.
Is really hard to find the LEC especially so on a white face.
Try to shine a touch on one side of the watch in a dark place, look not only on the crystal face (top-down), but try looking from side (the beveled edge of the crystal) instead.

If you do find the LEC be happy that it is hard to find. Don't want to see it with just a quick glance. Hard to see equals a very good thing.

I tried to look from side too, but I can’t see it too.

Did you did the swap yourself or a paid service?
If you can do it yourself then the best way (if you Really want to find out) is to remove the crystal and look for the LEC when placed on a dark surface. This can be fast and easy for one that can do swap, or can be hard or not practical for those that cannot.
Meanwhile reach out the seller, they should be able to provide some insight.
Cheers mate

Take the flashlight on your phone and shine it down through the watch from the 12 o'clock position towards the 6 o'clock position. Just read UV and black light make it easier to spot. Hope that helps.
