I agree as I hardly notice it. I was surprised when trying on the DSSD it was not nearly as bad as expected.

Without altering functionality, it adds aesthetic value to the watch.

x2, It is like looking at an LV bag with LV sign all over it! Much prefer the clean looks of it.

I don't dislike it... as a matter of fact it gives a touch of "otherness"... like if the watch is saying "Hey I'm a real Rolex, are you one too?"

I like it only with bigger dial rolex and I think it doesn't match with 26mm or 31mm lady with small dial...

I do not mind that much, but I prefer them without engraved flange/rehaut.

Best,

I bought my last LV Sub because it DIDN'T have the engraved rehaut. I have several Rolexes with the engraving, so it is not a deal breaker........but I definitely prefer it without.

I like it, and it's much more subtle than it appears in some photos...
