Hi, guys.
Here come two questions I have been trying to find answers.
1: We all know Rolex sports models such as Sub, DSSD, GMT, YM, YMII, all have rotating bezel. No matter one-way rotate or both ways. And we know that the bezel on these watches are not glued on.
How about thoes fixed-bezel Rolexes such as Milgauss, DJ, DD. Are bezel on these watches glued or pressed on?

2: This is about movement.
Rolex always claim that their 4130 movement in Daytonas have FAR LESS parts than other chrono movement. As you can find this on Rolex web.
From what they say, 4130 has "only" aprox 290 parts. My memery tells me 294 to be exact. So, is this really the case? I mean compare to other chrono movement such as eta7750. How many parts in a basic unmodified eta 7750?

OK, I know that 3135 has 195 parts.
4160 (YMII's movemet_ has more than 400 parts.
4130 has 294 parts.
Are Rolex movement always have fewer parts than other brands?

Let me make a compare based on my limited knowledge.
For a movement with a date fuction, auto winding, second hands, minute hands and hour hand like Rolex 3135. It has 195 parts.
Well, Panerai's P9000 with same fuction and one more day power reserve(p9000 is a 72 hour pr) has same 195 parts as well. Patek 315sc movement has about 210 parts.
So, comparing a 3135 to a petak 315sc. Yes, Rolex has less part. But comparing to a p9000. 3135 doest have advantage.

I know, I know, its not about how many parts in a movement, it is how reliable and accurate the movement is.
Im not saying movement with less parts is better.
I just want to find out some info.

So, if you happen to know how many parts in a movement with same function like 3135 and 4130 (lets say eta 2824 7750, and breitling B01, etc, etc. any other brands are wellcome to know as well), please let me know.

I have been trying to find these kind of data on net for a while, and couldnt get anything.

THANKS
