Dial mounting feet

Hi everyone
I saw a 41 mm datejust dial for sale recently and the pic of the backside of the dial shows no mounting “feet “. Are the 32xx dials just kept inplace by pressure fit?
Thanks

They have an edge underneath the dial that clips onto the edge of the movement. Making it more durable because now you cannot break the dial feet with a hard knock/fall.

Thanks… I first saw a pic on the Rolex website and was surprised there were no “feet”.
