I like it, I'm glad mine has it.

InVision · 11 August 2010, 09:52 AM

Yes I like it !!

davegct · 11 August 2010, 09:57 AM

I'm with the consensus here. I think it adds yet another something to the watch and avoids some of the questions about whether its real or not. To me its more subtle in the flesh than in photos.

andrew79 · 11 August 2010, 09:58 AM

like it...

sleddog · 11 August 2010, 10:04 AM

I actually really like it Pat...It doesn't take away anything from the readability!!!

Although I have to say some models are better without...

buke45 · 11 August 2010, 11:10 AM

Nope

Perdu · 11 August 2010, 11:15 AM

Don't like it at all - tacky over branding.

Second that.

The rehaut engraving isn't visible unless you're looking for it.

Then zoom in (click again).

Then look at the engraved R O L E X R O L E X R O L E X around the dial.

Now I see what it is.
I don't have that on my SD

gelshocker · 11 August 2010, 04:45 PM

It shouldn't be there on their sports range. On the DateJust, Day-Date no problem.

But if it helps deter fakes then I'm all for it. And when buying Rolex you can match the watch against the warranty card without having to remove the bracelet (which most ADs will not entertain). Keeps everyone honest. Cheers,

Tek · 11 August 2010, 05:42 PM

I love it. I think it makes the watch balanced and good use of space IMO, that's why I love modern Rolex

darthmouse · 11 August 2010, 05:45 PM

I'm not a big fan of it, but I don't really mind either. I simply like a cleaner rehaut.

Neither is RING LOCK SYSTEM

azkri · 11 August 2010, 08:02 PM

Rehaut - Well, I can live with it & learn to like it.
S/No - Very practical, indeed.

DSSD Ring Lock System - That is something else

Sunshine · 11 August 2010, 08:46 PM

I like it. It’s just one more measurement point to use my trusty 20x optical comparator on when inspect potential new models to buy. You would be surprised as to how close some of the high dollar fakes are getting these days. Things like this are handy when you are not in a position to remove the back and inspect the movement right away. Most of the fake’s even high dollar ones engraving will be much larger or not consistent in size. A calibrated optical comparator will tell you if the size is off even a small fraction.

jdc · 11 August 2010, 08:49 PM

no

toolr · 11 August 2010, 09:34 PM

Either way is fine with me.

Puffy · 11 August 2010, 09:39 PM

You get used to it. BUt I much prefer my GMT without it

It can't be seen easily anyway, so it doesn't get in the way.

However I do think it is kind of neat, after all it says:

ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX

Can't get enough ROLEX!!!

I have been infected.

mtrunner · 11 August 2010, 11:29 PM

I really like it. It is a cool touch you only notice up close.

Rotorhead · 22 August 2010, 08:35 AM

I have to put my cheaters on to see it!

TSW · 22 August 2010, 08:50 AM

Like it!

ninja5000 · 22 August 2010, 08:59 AM

That is why I bought the Z sub! Cleaner look. (But I like 'em with it also!)

Good thing you don't, Fred. I don't think the 16600 ever had it.

Dr. Robert · 22 August 2010, 09:11 AM

...a little overkill w/ the logos...personally, I wish Rolex didn't do it.

sakuraba · 22 August 2010, 09:11 AM

I'm not crazy about the engraved rehaut.

I really went out of my way to look for an LV with a smooth chapter ring.

Makes the dial look busy IMO.

Tunacan26 · 22 August 2010, 09:11 AM

Love it on my DJ. Really gotta look to see it. It's cool.

Dr.Brian · 22 August 2010, 09:12 AM

Yep, never on the SD!
