The Watch Thread - Part 10

[Henabi]

Ok... Here's a triple for you to quote the font!

In other watch forums, people also pointed out the different fonts used by Rolex over the years.

Up for moderator!

You see me too up liao lolx. Exercising self discipline is far better imo ^.^

Reikizi...Your Orient DOME is Soooooo.... Curvy....

 

[reikizi]

Can teach how to remove scratches from glass and bracelet?

For bracelet and case, if shiny buy cape cod.

if brush finish use those polish pen or some say scotch brite (cannot polish or scratch ..don't find me)

or google to find out more

But to save your headache, after a few years you can bring down to a watch polisher and polish

lastly this is an old watch, the glass are plastic so easier to polish and scratched. new type sapphire or harden mineral glass are near to impossible to polish and also quite impossible to scratch (I is very chor lor pple , but my sapphire glass wan all swee swee)

All along, from what I know thus far, this watch thread never endorse replicas and fakes. In fact the moment we discovered any watches shared here are fakes or replicas, we Diss, flames and agressively invite them to get out of this thread and take the discussion elsewhere.

People who wanna openly discuss fakes and replicas, even where to buy them, are always invited to started their own discussion thread.

What's being discussed here is ways to spot fakes and replicas, which imo shouldnt be ban in this watch thread at all, as one of the most FAQS here is buying watches from 2nd hand shops and grey dealers.

On the other hand, homages and custom-made luxury watches are welcomed here.

Anyway... if some of you guys here are not comfortable with each other, kindly take your personal comments out of here, go to EDMW... or you can simply save your eyes sole pain and block some particular hwzers

Thank you for welcoming homages!

Ok I may be flogging a dead horse but the discussion this afternoon made me curious enough to dig up old photos of my 114060 which I got from AD to compare with the grey Hulk that I traded it for...

114060 AD:

Grey Hulk:

Looking closely I realized that the font on both SUBMARINER have clear serifs on the "A"... which lead me to google and this page:

http://www.5513mattedial.com/Serifs.html

FWAH. got people write so much about rolex font sia...

Also this article on SJX:

http://watchesbysjx.com/2014/07/com...00-refs-16600-vs-116600-with-live-photos.html

"Though the text on the dial is exactly the same, there is a subtle change in the fonts used. That’s most noticeable for “Sea-Dweller”, which is in a serif font on the old model, and a simpler font on the 2014 model."

Therefore, whether got serif or no serif on modern rolexes, also have!
