686 Plus w/laser etched lettering

I had a 686+ (I don't remember the dash) and I am having difficulty finding another one. What was unique about it was all the lettering was done by laser. The "Smith & Wesson", ".357 Magnum", "Marcas Registradas", no mechanical cuts. When I bought it I also saw a 629 with the same markings. When I had some work done on it the Smith told me that was unique. So, when were these made? Why are they so hard to find? Looked in all the online gun sites and nothing. It does have the lock on the side. Appreciate any info.

I have never seen such a gun. Do you have a picture of this?

I have a model 66 -6 where all the markings are laser engraved.
It was made between 2002 - 05, according to Google.

I do not have a picture. So it is a -6... they are hard to find. I will continue to search for it. Thank you.
