Thanks!

Luckily, I speak German fluently.

Now, the booklet certainly gives you a better idea of the complexity of the 4160 movt., doesn't it?!

Looks very complicated. It must have taken some brilliant engineering to create that movement. But I just wonder, would a yachtsman have the time or the patience to use these functions when he can just rely on a Seiko to do the same job? Seems very fiddly to me...

frostie · 4 January 2008, 09:23 AM

Well the movement is a piece of art for sure.

Considering the size of the watch there are some big words there.

ohlins · 4 January 2008, 12:45 PM

the pic from rolex.com is pretty neat too....

SSD · 4 January 2008, 12:45 PM

Quite possibly the most advanced movement on the planet, certianly beautiful in its own right as well. If they'd only restyled the dial & bezel. Can one still play with the countdown feature on the Rolex website? Hope so...

Great, I have said in one of my earlier posts that the majority of us a judgeing this watch on how it looks.
It is far and away the most advanced movement that Rolex produce and is a genuine work of art.
Still an ugly watch though.
