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?

911SC · 7 July 2012, 08:32 AM

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.

BmwA5H · 7 July 2012, 09:15 AM

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!

The rehaut is a deal BREAKER for me. I think it's fugly!

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

Eric88 · 7 July 2012, 10:03 AM

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.

Rocco22 · 7 July 2012, 10:20 AM

Ya I'm loved when they started doing that,however most I spoke with about it hated it.

Hairdude1 · 7 July 2012, 02:14 PM

Great pics guys!!

Haha, love that!

So 00's lol

BmwA5H · 7 July 2012, 05:56 PM

Great Shots guys!

BmwA5H · 7 July 2012, 06:02 PM

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.

Andad · 7 July 2012, 07:59 PM

I like them with or without.

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

That's a pity. I suppose with the rehaut engraved serial, the between-lug engraved serial is redundant.

How many years is the transition period?

Andad · 7 July 2012, 08:12 PM

IMO only the Rolex gnomes know the answer.

Surely the timespan can be estimated according to the earliest and latest known examples out there?

Well there is your next project screaming out to you.

Rollie Fingers · 8 July 2012, 12:35 AM

rehaut for me please

i think it makes the watch a little more special

911SC · 8 July 2012, 02:50 AM

What about the Coronet etching on the crystal? Does Rolex still do this?
