Re: Omega symbol on saphire crystal?!

How old is your standard seamaster? my new Seamaster Pro has no symbol, and neither does my friends new Seamaster Pro Titanium. I think that the sapphire is too hard to do this to, and it probably would affect the strength of it, since it can shatter- kind of like how a Rolex Sea Dweller has no magnifying spot for greater crystal strength.
