Any other watch brand engraved their rehaut? Just curious..

Andad · 8 July 2018, 06:58 PM

I don't notice the rehaute while wearing it.

This thread makes me realize they are actually different kind of rehaut engraving. Some seem bold, some not, some engraved on the edges of characters only...
An opportunity to create low production fonts'rehaut for future collectible value?

interesting.

I like it.

Engraved rehaut is another piece for Rolex to misalign, as pictured above.

All this time I thought it said EXROL EXROL EXROL

I like it.

CLG23 · 9 July 2018, 05:27 AM

Honestly i think it’s added detail

lilsweetie · 9 July 2018, 05:49 AM

I like it, especially on a smaller watch like my dj31 where it's just barely visible but adds a nice touch rather than just being flat.

Dirt · 9 July 2018, 01:32 PM

I totally get the concept around it as an anti counterfeit measure.

But i'm not a fan despite the subtlety of execution and I think the immediate area in and around the dial is already cluttered enough as it is.
And I swore off new Rolex watches for about 8 years after its introduction.

I actually don't like it that much it influenced my decision to only get the DSSD as my only 6 digit model.
On the DSSD, it's virtually impossible to see it day to day because the Crystal is so thick and that inner face of the Ringlock is so plumb it's barely perceptable

True enough.
My wife's 31mm DJ has a white MOP dial with diamonds and it's virtually impossible to see the inner face of the rehaut, let alone the text and coronets.

Don’t hate it but don’t like it either.I dislike the maxi case much more than something tiny like this.

bob78h · 9 July 2018, 04:00 PM

Never thought too much about the rehaut before but now that I've had a couple pieces with the engraving, when I wear a watch without it I briefly feel like something is missing and it almost looks too plain. I kinda like it, just another little detail that Rolex adds to the watch.

maylebox · 9 July 2018, 04:31 PM

I'm also not the biggest fan. It almost kept me from buying a modern Rolex. Almost.

jzzmn88 · 10 July 2018, 06:33 AM

I like it, but I never understood how this prevents counterfeiting? Can't be that difficult to mimic the engraving.

Syed117 · 10 July 2018, 06:53 AM

I never even think about it.

I do wish that more of them were centered, or that Rolex QC cared enough to make sure they lined up. Seems like the majority are off center.

Not really an issue.

I noticed that as well while viewing this thread. Mine definitely looks different from some shown here.

Nikrnic · 10 July 2018, 07:50 AM

I think the rehaut is a smart idea. It's hardly noticeable but it does serve a purpose.

Its ok, no complaints about it.

jay_kay · 10 July 2018, 03:48 PM

I personally prefer it to not be there.

mac_135 · 10 July 2018, 03:58 PM

I like it. It's one of those subtle Rolex details that most people wouldn't notice.

RazorD · 10 July 2018, 07:41 PM

I was very interested in this until owning one of each and now I don’t feel I notice it much at all.
