Make the room dark.
Put your phone light on and put the light from the side of the watch and you will see it
Lol this would be the first watch where it really isn‘t there. It‘s really hard to see. In daylight it‘s impossible to see. As I said only a totally dark room and your mobile phone flashlight pointing it with light direction on the crown (the time setting an winding crown, not the rolex crown on the crystal lol)
It has to be passive light not pointing directly on the crystal. Point it on the crown from the side and you should see it.

Thanks for your support, but there is definitely no crown. I have an arf SD and can see it there. Damn!

Try looking elsewhere, other than 6:00 where it ought to be. The LEC could be at 10:00 or elsewhere, he he.

Looked and looked and looked gonna replace the xtal. The question is who could replace it in Germany. Thx
gonna replace the xtal. The question is who could replace it in Germany. ThxUpdate : had a local clocksmith have a look at it and confirmed no LEC on this ARF v3. He is not willing to replace the xtal though Domenico thankfully will help. puretime you should add this as a QC step. Please check for the LEC. Unfortunately this is something I couldn't see on the QC pics. PM'd you about that.

Just received my V3 last week from Lucy and i am very happy with it. Just 1 question. Is there supposed to be a little space between the crown and the case like in the picture of does the crown touch the case on a gen. If it should touch the case how can i fix it ?

The LEC is something that you would never notice unless someone challenges you on authenticity
If it is such an issue for you, put a gen crystal.

If the crown is fully screwed in and there is still a gap, it’s most likely your crown tube. Send it to a Modder to get it checked.

I totally agree srhoque ! But the point is rather that you expect to be it there as per description and you actually pay for it and it's not. I got another xtal and Domenico dmuit is about to install it.
puretime following up on our conversation (private messages) I'm sure dmuit confirms that there is no LEC on my ARF v3.
