Totally agree, this is one of the “perks” of being on TRF. Outside of the friendships and camaraderie, the insight into some of these pieces is incredible...makes me want to learn more about Rolex!

If you're interested in movements at all, this might be a great start: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=609189

Peter is no Bas, but he's pretty good no less.

Nice.

Understandable finishing for a concealed movement... but still, I wish Rolex improved on this department.
