New VSF Rolex sub without etched crown on crystal?

[Dominicr9]

Friends, I just received a new Rolex submariner VSF (126610) from TrustyTime without the etched crown on the crystal at 6 o’clock. I have mixed feelings about this as the etched crowns have always been hard to replicate and on many replicas they appear to be much more obvious than on the original. I’m thinking it might not be a bad thing not to have it so obvious.

What is your experience with the etched crowns specifically with VSF watches? Thanks!

I see them just fine on reps and gens with the naked eye. You don't need a lupe to see them on gens. I have a VSF 126610 arriving soon, so I can't really speak on the LEC with this model until then. However, my past Noobs and ARFs seemed just fine.

If someone is that close to my watch to see it, they're not going to be that close for long lol

Double post. Ignore.

Correction! I wore two bifocals and borrowed a friends loupe and etched crown is there. Oh my God it is so freaking small and difficult to see it is almost impossible.
