Given a choice, I'd pass on it.

It's quite subtle in the flesh so I really don't mind it at all.

Can't quite say the same about the black sharpie writing on the DSSD though.

bradg · 20 February 2009, 09:52 AM

I really think it adds a nice touch. Kinda Classy but very discreet. Looks good

thecoinopcollector · 20 February 2009, 01:17 PM

I think it really adds something special and neat. I like it a lot.

warrior · 21 February 2009, 03:14 PM

don't think it adds all that much. i think it certainly is a nice touch...but you really have to look for it to see it.

Agree 100%

BuffaloRolex · 22 February 2009, 01:05 PM

I prefer the subtley of it, and it's something else interesting to inspect.

Blown Wide Open · 22 February 2009, 01:27 PM

I prefer no rehaut and lug holes present...I'm an old fashioned kind of guy.

As I mentioned before, some of the watches on the Rolex website (their own gallery) still have the non-branded rehaut e.g the Plat/SS YM.

I guess the branding is pretty subtle, but it is distracting, but it is a new feature, but it does nothing, but but

But it's no big deal IMHO.

swatty · 22 February 2009, 06:02 PM

I don't mind it , you don't notice it unless you look for it.

yannis · 22 February 2009, 06:40 PM

It matters in the sense that it is not aesthetically bad and it also enables the potential buyer to have a quick look on whether the serial on the card corresponds to the serial engraved at the 6 o' clock position.

Bisquitlips · 22 February 2009, 06:43 PM

Yeah, I really like the rehaut printing, but don't really miss it on my GMT.

Nice feature I think.

Mirx · 22 February 2009, 09:29 PM

Does not make a difference to me.

Although, I used to think it's tacky from the pictures until I handled a watch with it. It's very subtle so I don't mind it.

Tombstone · 22 February 2009, 09:51 PM

I feel it made the LV sub go from looing plain to outstanding.

MrCowboy99 · 22 February 2009, 10:49 PM

doesn't matter to me..

Nakow · 23 February 2009, 02:48 AM

Depends on the model ,looks really nice on GMT IIc and yachtmaster but doesnt go with a Sub Date and Daytona !

mspag · 23 February 2009, 07:30 AM

I sure like it better than the old green hologram sticker on the back of the watch.

Art 1 · 23 February 2009, 09:49 AM

No.

Nica64 · 23 February 2009, 09:53 AM

Doesn't matter to me..... I think it looks fine

desmoboy · 23 February 2009, 10:11 AM

I like it and being able to see serial number is a big plus
