What are your thoughts on the last of the 5-digit models that were made with the engraved rehaut? Part of me thinks they're interesting as "last of the breed" and "transitional" pieces.

But another part of me thinks the engraved ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX should live only on newer 6-digit models, an example of more blingy modern Rolex (see: solid gold Deepsea); that it clashes with the more "tool" aspect of 5-digit sports models.

Do you think that no "true" 5-digit model should have engraved rehaut? Can you even see the engraved text? Does it just not matter? Will they have higher value 20 years from now?

Relevant since I'm looking at 16570s. Thanks
