Official Submariner and Seadweller thread!

[Oceanklassik]

Hi,

Just to share. I remember that there is one thread (forgot where) here where some forummers were informing that the Submariner 'Z' series have no engraving rehaut. I had actually just seen one 'Z' series BNIB ROLEX Submariner that has the engraving rehaut. It is on sale at one of the watch shops here. Saw the serial no. to be "Z99xxxx".

cool. wats the purpose of tat from rolex? tat must be damn rare.

[Oceanklassik]

Am nt very sure but read somewhre it is one of ROLEX's new security features, against fakes.

[submariner_yeo]

yes. the engraving of the word rolex is indeed to prevent fakes. What i meant that why is there submariner z series without the engraving? maybe wat they seen are actually a counterfiet sub?

What i meant that why is there submariner z series without the engraving?

this feature was introduced in phases across the range.....

My 07 Explorer II got the engraving rehaut. I think most of the latest Z series and M series got the engraving..

[Oceanklassik]

I was told the later batches of 'Z' series came with it. Then spill onto the 'M' series. So I think most, if not all, of the 'M' series has it.

New SD

Thank to Seiko.citizen, Wean_sg, Triton, 166520, Jazz_samz and Seadweller for their expert advice.

After weeks of deciding between the SS Sub, TT Blue Sub, SS GMT2C or SD, I finally settled down with an M Series Sea Dweller.

The more I compared these beautiful candidates, the clearer it became that it was the SD that struck a special chord for me.

Having visited nearly all the AD's which had the last remaining SD's, I notice some pieces seemed to be display models which had gone through a bit of handling. Upon close scrutiny, a few had faint scratch marks on the bezel insert and polished surfaces.

Fortunately, one of the AD's had a fresh SD sealed in plastic and in flawless condition. It also came with with bezel protector and adjustment tool. I bought this piece on the spot.
