To those who've had, or have both types of rehaut, do you prefer it or not?

I don't own a watch with it, and without spending time looking at one, it seems it might be distracting. Or, maybe not so much???

Just curious what you all think about it.

ParisDakarBmw · 11 August 2010, 03:07 AM

The reflection made it a little hard to see the crown etching, but it makes it easy to see the SN

Numismatist · 11 August 2010, 03:11 AM

I like it. It's subtle enough. I really don't like the RING LOCK SYSTEM and the other text around the DSSD, that's too much in your face for me.

tifosi · 11 August 2010, 03:13 AM

I like the rehaut engraving. Just adds a lil something...

I totally agree

Chipmunk · 11 August 2010, 03:15 AM

I like it.

Kindness · 11 August 2010, 03:15 AM

I definitely like it. A lot. No one is going to see it, even sitting next to you, but it is a touch that can be appreciated by the owner or a close up admirer.

Indeed, I agree. I think that is best left on the casback. No offense anyone.

Michael M. · 11 August 2010, 03:16 AM

I like rehault because it makes the watch just a little more interesting.

mjm800 · 11 August 2010, 03:23 AM

OK really n00b question here. I don't speak French Rehaut looks like a French word to me (maybe I'm wrong).

Can someone phonetically spell it? I am sure there are some silent letters in there and I don't want to pronounce it incorrectly.

I agree. It's pretty tough to notice unless you look for it at just the right angles. It's just another detail that sets Rolexes apart, and it's very convenient for finding the serial number.

Gerardus · 11 August 2010, 03:28 AM

Yes i like it very much!

No just Rolex once on the dial is fine for me the serial now thats a good idea

JJ Irani · 11 August 2010, 03:36 AM

Let me put it this way............if it hadn't been introduced by Rolex, none of us would ever miss it!!

Thats my take also.

scl6118 · 11 August 2010, 03:39 AM

Like?.....no. Love?...... yes! I also really dislike the Ring Lock System on the DSSD, it looks ridiculous! For the love of me I can't understand why they put that on the DSSD!

chrisok · 11 August 2010, 03:41 AM

I like the engraving...actually made sure my watches had it when i was buying them.

Route 66 · 11 August 2010, 03:43 AM

I like it. It makes is much easier to see the serial number.

RFXMM · 11 August 2010, 03:45 AM

Does it have anything to do with the thickness of the crystal? Maybe there would be some unsightly distortion around the edge or something, and the silver ring is a compromise. Just a thought. It's not my favorite feature either, and it looks very un-Rolex to me.

seneca · 11 August 2010, 03:51 AM

I feel like the engraved rehaut disrupts an otherwise "clean" design on a lot of models. Supposedly it was introduced as an anti-counterfeiting mechanism, but just like the equivalent on CD/DVDs it ends up being a nuisance to the actual paying consumer. The ones who copy still do it...

(I just got my first Rolex - a polar Explorer II - last week

and made sure to get one manufactured before the rehaut was introduced, though getting a case with lug holes was also a factor)

Have to agree with you 100% there

Joey_V · 11 August 2010, 03:55 AM

I recall when it came out... a majority of the forum were totally AGAINST it!

Now the majority like it.

The GMT Master · 11 August 2010, 03:57 AM

I think the rehaut looks a bit odd without it now

Johny · 11 August 2010, 04:23 AM

i like it.

Rolesor · 11 August 2010, 04:23 AM

I wanted to have it on my DJ - I turned down a much cheaper one because it didn't have the rehaut actually.

I'm glad I went with it but truthfully, it's not that noticeable unless your looking for it! The rehaut is so shiny that unless the light hits it just right it really doesn't pop out at all.

Just my two pennies!

nauticajoe · 11 August 2010, 04:24 AM

Rehaut is french, indeed.

It means "elevation", exactly the metal piece between the dial and the glass/bezel.

Spelling is not easy: Röo, r like r, "ö" like the u in "turn", o like o.

And BTW I like it.
