Icon10 Has Rolex gotten into the dental field?

Reading the news this morning, I came across a story with a photo...

In the image, you will see a crown (tooth), the inner part of the crown that slides into the crown tube, and the crown tube.

The crown tube looks very familiar, but seems to be missing the black O-ring which would really provide a nice level of water-resistance. The groove is there... maybe they just didn't want to give away too much in the photo so competitors wouldn't see the O-ring gasket on the crown tube.

Picture was too big so it didn't upload and I didn't notice the warning message before I posted. Here it is.

did you really read the story or did you actually overhear someone in passing talking about it and then took a picture of the inside of their mouth so you could make a thread about all the strange characters you come across in everyday life?

Thats what BC would do.... really

Banned. I thought it was only temporary, but it seems like it may be for good.

His threads were certainly interesting and entertaining. Not quite the same now.

I had blocked him so I think the mods made a good decision.
This thread certainly took a turn from implant jokes to a banned person.

That looks painful. I’m in the need of a root canal and can’t seem to get away from talk about teeth now :(
