LOVE engraved rehaut

[Cauhauna]

This is my first Rolex. I am blown away!

[Doood]

Stunner! The engraving is a nice touch.

Huge congrats, nice pic

[sweeperdk]

Agreed!

I catch myself staring at the rehaut on my expii with partial disbelief.

So nice a detail.

Nice pix, have Rolex changed the method of engraving the rehautes?

[padi56]

Myself wish they would get rid of the Rolex rehaut branding then we would get rid of today's alignment syndrome. But suppose if they did that many would find something else to moan about nice picture.

Just checked mine - purchased March 2017 so probs manufactured late 2016?
Looks similar - do you notice anything different?

Are the dials ceramic on these also? They look to have an extremely glossy finish which looks great.

i think the rolex bling ring has its place ,,, looks great on newer stuff , and helps keep the counterfeit guys at bay a wee bit too.
would look odd on plexi thought , although imagine what a super dome would do with it .

Congratulations! It is beautiful as it is!

I like the engraved rehaut too in my watch too, I need some effort to read it but ir gives texture to the dial.
If instead on the flesh I see a zoomed detail picture of the dial with the reahaut I do not like it so much, something similar happens to me with the Tudor’s snowflake hands, I like them on the flesh but I do not in a zoomed picture.

Nice choice on the watch.

I'm with you on the Snowflake hands, just look too overpowering to me in pictures when in reality they look just right.

Regarding the rehaut, not so long ago I was seriously considering an Explorer II 16570 Polar. I convinced myself I wouldn't like the watch without the engraving and ruled out many perfectly suitable examples. When I finally found the watch I liked, I hesitated and it was sold

I've since come to the conclusion the engraved rehaut, while nice, isn't really important at all. I'm sat here now looking at my Explorer, I have good eyeseight but unless I really look for it I don't notice the engraving at all. Again I think it comes down to pictures giving me an unrealistic view of the watch.

The little details can make a big difference. Congratulations!

It's likely an epoxy-based paint with UV inhibitor. The dials are brass.

I think its a little too much engraving the rehaut, not really necessary to have Rolex engraved. Although I do like the serial number being engraved, now its not necessary to take the bracelet off to find the number of the watch.

[Big Dogg]

I agree, it is one of the features I love about the subc

[Andrés G]

Nice shot. Congrats on your first Rolex.

[MinMay]

I agree...one of my favorite features.

[c41006]

Very nice

[liuk3]

Nice photo. Congratulations!

I find it interesting that they have different styles of rehaut engraving for different models.

The engraving on your Sub has a large font, while my OP 39 has a smaller font and more subtle.

I presume it differs based on the diameter of the dial, and height of the rehaut.

Here's mine:

^This. I think this is really excellent especially for those beginners whom may be apprehensive of removing bracelets themselves in fear of scratching the case. It's very handy to record the serial especially if someone buys a watch without papers. It's also very difficult for thieves to remove the serial from a stolen watch due to this.

As for aesthetics, I've come to really like it. So much that I miss it when looking at older examples that don't have it. It's not visible at a distance and in darker lighting conditions so I don't see it as being something obnoxious.

Nice watch. Their rhodium dials are so pleasing to look at. Very modern and understated. If I can't get my hands on a Daytona or BLRO this year, then I'll go for a rhodium DJ41 on jubilee.

[Wcdhtwn]

I agree. The engraved rehaut is a great detail on the Rolex.

[Keptone]

Nice choice, enjoy wearing it.

[BadBoyR]

I I'm all for the modern touches.
