not a fan of the aesthetics
but it raised the bar for dumb thieves rubbing off S/N's from between the lugs.

kjp1 · 25 July 2012, 05:28 AM

Don't care for it. Convenient for checking serial # but we know it's a Rolex without it being written all around the inside.

Are you a fan? I do love the little touch. I don't think it is a deal breaker after vintage pieces too.

I don't like it at all. It reminds me of the garish LV branding on all the made in China Louis Vuitton bags.

I prefer to have non-engraved rehaut

This was recently discussed here

I can take it or leave it. I actually like looking down to see it, but when I'm wearing one without it, I don't miss it. Talk about a lot of words to say nothing...

floater156 · 25 July 2012, 07:24 AM

Love it, looks too plain w/o R O L E X R O L E X

Z-Sub · 25 July 2012, 07:48 AM

I like them, a little decorative effect and subtle enough that I don't notice it every time I look at the watch.

Rocco22 · 25 July 2012, 08:10 AM

I love it

nauticajoe · 25 July 2012, 08:11 AM

I don't mind it at all.

FremStar · 25 July 2012, 08:17 AM

Doesn't really matter to me, however, if it came down to me purchasing a model that had the engraved rehaut vs. one that did not, I am choosing the engraved rehaut version 100% of the time!

Bangel · 25 July 2012, 08:21 AM

Doesn't bother me either way.

It is convenient for displaying the serial number, especially for people like me who don't take off the bracelet.

I also think a benefit of engraving "Rolex" around the circumference is that it makes it more difficult for counterfeiters to replicate.

outlaw468 · 25 July 2012, 08:38 AM

I could take it or leave it.

mvmbles · 25 July 2012, 08:44 AM

I like it. Only plan on owning 2 or 3 that don't have engraved rehaut.

Exactly!! I like the easy serial # read - no bracelet removal.

I like it

It's more subtle IRL than in large photos posted online, and the ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX... is something for the counterfeiters to struggle with...

jolimont · 25 July 2012, 09:58 AM

It doesn't bother me, but my M serial has it

Not a fan. How many times do you need to check your serial number?

beshannon · 25 July 2012, 10:16 AM

Never stopped to think about it

It's not that noticable, unless you look for it

gwozhog · 25 July 2012, 10:20 AM

I need a magnifying glass to see it anyways so it does not bother me.

crowncollection · 25 July 2012, 10:50 AM

i happy either way
