Not sure how that ever became described as a 'rail' (more of a short stick), but they are rarer and quite sought-after. |

So that's the only difference? While I appreciate the rarity. It does nothing for me. Expecially the price difference. |

While I admit it's not like discovering fire or inventing the wheel...
It is my cup of tea.

Yep - and maybe a 'frog-foot' coronet here and there. To Rolex, it likely was/is all simply down to typography/design, variations from using several dial manufacturers, and perhaps a smidge of anti-forgery strategy, but to collectors, these things matter. A lot! A difference of thousands, sometimes!
