I was admiring my watch in the sun today, and what caught my eye (apart from the dial) was the engraved rehaut. This really was make or break when finding mine, I had to have it!

Post some engraved rehaut pictures! I know it's a little nerdy

but I love the way it looks!

Ahh for having the serial number at the bottom?

I believe so, I don't believe that feature would be easy to replicate on a counterfeit. But with today's innovations I could be wrong.

The fake factories copied it within 5 days of being released.
They have amazing technology..... Unfortunately

Yes, very true! It would be a very sad day when counterfeiters start stealing other owners serial numbers and using them on bogus watches.. a cloned watch! scary!

They did it with the serial between the lugs they've done it on the rehaut. Always gotta check the movement.

I don't have a pic but I've always liked it too!

I am not a huge fan, but would not halt my purchase of a modern Rolex due to it. I like the clean look of non-engraved rehaut that accentuates the dial. Engraved rehaut is so '00s.

Woops! even forgot to post mine!

Chachabah · 7 July 2012, 06:56 PM

I like it on some, but not on others. For example, I love it on my random serial SS/ever-rose Datejust with pink dial. Adds a glint of sparkle and texture to the overall apperance of the case. However, I love the clean rehut on my Z serial 16610LV anniversary sub. The clean rehut gives the dial depth, and accentuates the maxi's features. Also keeps it clean, and classic. As new a sub as you get with that classic flavor :)

sid8 · 7 July 2012, 07:32 PM

has anyone got anything unique or personal engraved on a older model?

I like the engraved rehaut. Having the serial on the rehaut is also useful as a back up should the serial between the lugs become worn or pitted over time due to poor care.

From Rolex's point of view i suppose it also means some gray dealers can't erase the serial of the watch, without ruining it.

Unfortunately it will soon no longer be a back-up as Rolex are no longer engraving the 'ID' between the lugs.
