If you had access to 'The Vault'...
Which facts or myths would you like to prove/ disprove if you had access to the files of Rolex S.A?

I would love to know the actual count of DRSD dials produced. Serial number production would be nice as well.

What about the so called 'red' Tudor Ranger - has anyone been able to state definitively that they are all fake?

I think the underline was to signify that they were transitioning from radium to tritium being used for the luminous paint on the dials. Exclamation dot - still unknown to me.

They can keep their secrets and mysteries, but I'd like access to the vaults with all the NOS examples, prototypes and parts trays...
