Something I didn't know, till recently.

Everything on a Rolex is just fine and adds value to a watch. Flaws become pluses and, paradoxically, many technical improvements are, well, just not so fine. Cracked, starry, faded or burned dials, faded bezels, cupcake-like hour markers, which have turn...
