Yes. If that is what it's called... The circle of steel around the edge of the dial. "ROLEX" repeated over and over...

Here's the reason for the rehaut: "The introduction of the engraved rehaut was actually an action taken to make it more difficult for counterfeit watches to be instantly recognized, as this type of engraving on the Rolex watch is extremely precise and qui... 

I own the Explorer 1 in this edition

I really like it. Even if I don’t wear it often, it will stay in my collection. I feel it is the most straight and harmonious watch in their current offering. A timeless classic. I have owned it before and wrongly sold it. Then bought a new one. The airki...

I have a few thoughts on this debate. First, it’s interesting that the Air King actually has the case more suited to “exploring” as it is antimagnetic and the Explorer is not. Second, we often reference the Explorer’s design as classic Rolex(which it is) ... 

That’s correct; 3132 vs 3131.

 
 By: bchankai : January 1st, 2020-19:10
But it’s not as if the 3131 has “no” anti shock of course. To be clear, I really like both watches and currently own neither (but that may change very soon). I definitely wouldn’t criticize the decision for one over the other personally. I just think the ...
