I am curious... my guess is 2008.

The triple R rehault? Think it was Z series (06-07), cant recall seeing a D series probably wrong though lol

TurboWatch · 9 June 2009, 08:22 AM

My early Z serial Daytona did not have the engraving rehault, but my brother's late 2007 Z has the ROLEX ROLEX engaving

I believe it varies by model. My Z series DJ has papers dated 1/07 from the AD and it has the engraving. I have also seen a D series DJ with the rehaut engraving. It didn't appear in Subs until later, I believe in the M series. My Z series GMT does not have the engraving.

It appeared on different models at different times. The Z series in the really hot sellers and in the M series for most others.

My Z series Daytona does not have it while all my M series watches have the engraving.

The orginal idea was to make it more difficult for the fakers to copy and to provide the Serial at a glance, but this has not really worked.

Copies have the engraving and the serial too.

My wife has a "D" series ladies Everose Datejust that has the Rehaut writing and according to date of manufacture it was late 2005/early 2006.

Agreed...The first full size model to recieve RRR on the rehaute was the TOG, D series if my memory is correct.

my D WG daytona 116509 has it

"In what year Rolex introduced the cool looking Chapter Ring?"

Chapter ring?......I think you're referring to the rehaut or outer flange. The chapter ring has not changed in most Rolex models in the last 35 years or so:

RolexPete32 · 9 June 2009, 11:22 AM

my 2007 air-king has it (Z)
and my 2008 lv sub has it as well (M)

2th Dr · 9 June 2009, 11:56 AM

I have a D series DJ that has it and a D series YM that doesn't.

Chozn1 · 9 June 2009, 12:10 PM

My Z Day-Date has it, but my Z Yacht-master did not. Somewhere in the 2006 area though.

Tools · 9 June 2009, 02:53 PM

Al has it right.............. It is NOT a chapter ring....

I thought that we educated all TRFrs last year on this....

Singslinger · 9 June 2009, 04:17 PM

My S/S Z-series Daytona has the engraving on the rehaut, though my Z-series TT Blue Sub doesn't.

JJ Irani · 9 June 2009, 05:17 PM

My Platty is a Z-62XXXX which would make it a mid to late 2007 and it has the inscription on the rehaut ring.

Just cannot understand why you guys don't use the search function on TRF We mods and admin take the time to write or post most simple Rolex related information all we ask you to do is look in the same rolex forum headers.
