what to do? Rolex 6262 Daytona or DRSD

[Beaumont Miller II]

I want to thank jedly for educating me on the correct bevel for a vintage Rolex. Thank you also for taking the time to blow up those pictures and prove that the bevel is actually there but hard to see. I agree 100% that what we see very rarely is what the actual bevel looked like, and what we see more often is the result of over polishing of the watches lugs and crown guards. When we see one where the lugs look thick people tell us that it has barely been polished, now we know.

Quick question, since this thread has taken a turn already and if the mods permit. Am I correct that the picture of the Sea Dweller in the brochure had lugs of different width, and it left the factory that way, or was that an optical illusion?

Thanks for the clinic
Beaumont

Oh yes, Jed, I sure do. As Yogi would say, "It's like deja vu all over again." =) maverick

Exactly.......same principle as a "Think Tank". If you lock a bunch of overachievers in a room.......eventually they will stumble across something that makes them all stop....stare at each other for a moment........they say "no shit, thats right".
