Hi Guys,

Thanks

I'm no expert but a quick google search turned this up.

TBR = Tessellated Brilliance

Tessellate: to cover (a plane surface) by repeated use of a single shape, without gaps or overlapping

Not sure either. TBR also means To Be Released, but not sure if that is the acronym's context in the post.

Old thread, but I found a different answer from my AD in Geneva. Remember that the references are always in French.

T: Trapèze (shape of the stone)
R: Rond (shape of the stone)
BR: Brillant (Bezel with stones, diamond)

RBR: round diamond ex: https://www.rolex.com/fr/watches/day...9rbr-0012.html
TBR: Baquettes diamonds cut in trapezoidal shape ex: https://www.rolex.com/fr/watches/day...6tbr-0002.html

D’accord mais est ce que cela fait vraiment sens, étant donné que trapèze et brilliant sous les deux un type de coupe? Rond aussi. Du coup, c’est un peu comme dire carré triangle sphérique.

Fixed the wording. Sorry for the confusion through translating/my poor English
