I never noticed this before! Rolex website

If you view the model pages such as

https://www.rolex.com/watches/milgauss.html

the watch near the top of the page shows your local time, changing with your computer clock.

Its an interesting small detail.

I once had a screensaver of a two-tone Sub, blue dial that showed local time.

I've seen this on quite a few watch sites over the years.

I'm not sure now if I'd ever noticed it before on the Rolex site.

Even if it is new for Rolex, that technology has been around quite a while.
