wut??

he's trying to say that rolex will change small details in different batches or year made to prevent fake.
or that hulk is a chiong one.

for all i know, rolex never do such thing haha

i could be wrong

hmmmmmmm....

Well... one of the counter-fake measurements Rolex implemented was a Laser Etched Crown (LEC) at the 6 o clock position since 2001

Therefore if a rolex LEC at the 6 o'clock position is too prominent, then highly likely its a fake.

with the new silicon spring movement going big this year and the new Daytona, I won't be surprised if Rolex implement more micro counter-fake measures, such as "micro rolex logo on 10 o'clock & 2 o'clock markers"

Sadly accurate watch for Tues

Needs no intro, 9F movement, good enough to show in a see thru caseback
outstanding accuracy, twin pulse control, super sealed cabin, and iirc a 50yr lubrication & parts change.... this watch will outlive me
Look no further for a HEQ watch.

For GS quartz fans who likes bigger sized watches, there are 3 new models that is 40mm

yea the website actually states that there are company which have the technology to do LEC close to what Rolex is doing... but none comes close to Rolex... Just Perfect

Takes very skillful eyes to spot My poor eyes........

iirc nowadays the serial number of new rolex watches are "scrambled". It can only be ID-ed at RSC.

As of late, Rolex has also improved their own methodology in this regard. “The newer Rolexes have scrambled serials,” he says. “You could no longer date them without going to a Rolex dealer. Also, the serial numbers are now etched in the silver bezel under the crystal at the six o’clock.”

Therefore, it is highly possible that in the near future, Rolex may implement more counterfeit measures. because i am sure they know that the technologies of these replica companies are getting more advanced as well...

LOVE the dial colour.......

with some basic maintenance in 30-40 yrs time, it may even outlive the next generation

citizen chronomaster.

claimed to be the most accurate quartz in the world...
Finishing not as good as GS, but features wise slightly better.
Citizen looks to be slightly more expensive tho.

I actually can't see any LEC on my 114060. Could fellow owners confirm, have or don't have on 114060?
