Bop iT / Til U Drop iT.The lighting makes the font look bigger than it should be. The words from "genuine" and down don't usually look that thick. I would have to guess 70s stamp, due to the fact that the words "Zildjian" and "Avedis" look to be the same thickness, although I've never seen a 70s stamp stamped that deeply into a cymbal, unless it's a further trick being played by the lighting.
I'd have to see it in person to be 100% sure, but the dead giveaway is the comparable sizes of the fonts...70s!

Yeah but the lathing looks more like 50s to me. Hmmm...
Yeah, but the surface looks very even, more like a 70s specimen. Can't tell the hammering from these pics, either, which, in and of itself, speaks of 70s as well (50s hammering is usually VERY obvious in pictures...). Could be an unfortunate camera angle, or lighting.
If I had the cymbal in front of me, this would be a no-brainer. The font sizes of that stamp just scream "SEVENTIES!!!" to me...
