Does anybody know when Rolex introduced this authenticity feature onto the production line? I'm receiving an F-seriel Datejust (white gold version 116139) that seems to have this engraved rehaut update......a little doubtful....

moviefreak · 22 March 2010, 03:46 PM

At the end of the Z series...(2007-2008) for most models, but I believe some specific models got it before than that...

It started with some of the Z-series, but that was pretty erratic. The F-series was much before the Z so I don't think that will have it.

J.J I thought some precious metal models got the rehaut engraving before..

Speed · 22 March 2010, 03:49 PM

And don't confuse chapter ring with Rehaut...

Dr. Larry would not be pleased.

Agree with JJ - doubtful that the F series would have it.

bkandj2000 · 22 March 2010, 03:54 PM

Earliest I have seen rehaut engraving was a "D" serial number on a 36mm Datejust.

Guys, the guy seems legit. Am I really receiving a fake one? Any other advice???? After a quick search I did see some other WG DJ featuring this authenticity thing as early as F-seriels......What's the story? Any master of DJ?

Singslinger · 22 March 2010, 04:12 PM

I have to say, it looks legit. Maybe take it to a RSC for authentification?

mask1196 · 22 March 2010, 04:17 PM

thats another 150 usd.....

dr_bypass · 22 March 2010, 04:20 PM

Just look for the laser engraving on the sapphire lens and rest assured and in peace of mind..... What, whats that? You didnt know about the laser? (neither did I before i joined TRF!)

jmin · 22 March 2010, 05:31 PM

My F series Turn-o-graph has the rehaut engraving and laser etched crown. I've seen other F series turn o graphs with rehaut engravings.

CoopJr · 22 March 2010, 09:57 PM

Most likely one of those rare occasions where on F serial case was still available to have a movement put in it and by that time, the engraved rehaut was SOP.

If it were a fast moving model like a sub it might be cause for concern but F serial cases showing up later than expected was a thread topic here not too long ago.

Looks A-OK to me.

The solid gold models got the engraved rehaut well before the SS models..

D and F overlap and either could have it, just as the Z and M overlap with the rehaut on the SS models..

However, you should always verify any Rolex, regardless of the "features" you see..

CPTL · 23 March 2010, 12:15 AM

Wow!! All I'll say is that's a beauty! I've got the poor man's version.

My F series TT Turn-O-Graph has the rehaut graving as well. And I also have the laser etched crown.

Well, you said your seller is legit, right? If you did your research, then maybe you are good. Otherwise $150 is not a lot in the scheme of things.

I have seen many F series Turn O Graphs and all 18K F series datejusts I have seen did infact have the engraved rehaut.

Different models receibed this new treatment from as early as the F series as I stated above.

JUSTROLEXES · 23 March 2010, 12:38 PM

Yes some F and D models on the gold or turnograph had the rehaut

I've seen fakes with the 6 o-clock engraving before.

My wifes F series TT datejust has it which I purchased from AD.

F series do have on certaim models

InVision · 23 April 2010, 11:23 AM

Seen it on solid gold DD on "Z" models. All the "M" & "V"s seem to have it. Never seen it on a "D" or older. So an "F" would be unusual in the watches I have seen. Just observation. There should be someone on TRF with a DJ "F" that can verify.

mmmmp · 23 April 2010, 01:28 PM

My "D" series TOG has both as well.

Mark

PJS500 · 24 April 2010, 12:24 AM

FYI I purchased a brand new TT DJ D serial number and it has neither crown nor rehaut engravings. Bought in August 2009 from AD with full warranty and papers, etc. Wonder how long he had it. Great deal.
