dbane883 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've had a chance to take some close ups of the rehaut on my gen SubC. It's laser engraved in such a way that the depth will look different as it hits the light. At some angles, it appears that the letters are deeply etched in the middle of the fonts: However, at another angle, the center of the letters is in fact not hollow; but rather matte/flat which contrasts with the horizontal grains of the outer satin finish: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Some purty pictures you got there Y As always, amazed with your breakdown of details like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 And here is a closeup of a Noob V3/4 case that I have lying around. It's quite laughable really: Texture is all wrong. Letters are not even centered. Disgusting. But i suppose not many people will inspect with a 15x loupe to notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I always like a good macro pictures Nice pictures and nice engraving too! Good to see the difference between genuine and replica! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Great pictures.. This shows you the attention to detail that Rolex takes to be able to charge you an arm and a leg. Or maybe just 1 leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacsah1 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I wish you would have taken macro pictures of my rehaut. V3 case at one point came with the proper rehaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wonder if rolex ever laser etched numbers/letters between lugs before they went to bezel numbers? My P716xxx and K933xxx Air Kings look like the numbers/letters are engraved like older models. They are the latest watches I have looked at closely and are from around 2000/2001 or so.

Cromag Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very nice info OP. Thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathanwalker84 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Very cool pictures. I've heard the same regarding the v3 rehaut being better. Unfortunately I have a V4 so have the poor engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousbunny Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Most people would never notice it. TC sub is the only acceptable sub. Too bad it doesn't come with yuki 3135. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
