Can Someone Explain Sub Rehaut Engraving?

[levelmanroger]

OK - I know what it is.
But here is my observation over the last year or so:

When looking at Subs with engraved rehauts, it seems that quite often the 21J movement models have properly aligned rehauts (i.e. the "R"s and "X"s line up with the hour markers where they are supposed to), but almost none of the high-beat movement models have the aligned engraving. Low-beat ticking drives me nuts, but a poorly aligned rehaut is even worse.

WHY?
Do they use a different rehaut ring? It seems the rehaut should be universal across all movements. I'm very curious.

Anyone?

it is universal across factories, movement independent, the shi1terland factory has aligned rehaut but its wokky, BK's new sub is aligned (16610 model)...noobs are not including the 116610 which is Bks ceramic sub

Your personal 16610 is aligned right ?

 

[rsh]

my 16610 is a noob and I shaved the misaligned rehaut off

Like my LV!

both my noobs were aligned within a hair. 21j and eta clone

I just got a BK last week and its only aligned at the 12 o'clock marker the after that the letters are off - did I get a 2nd ???:biglaugh:

BK's ceramic subs and dssd models are from the noobfactory so he does his best to align the coronet at 12 oclock but the rest of the markers will be off.

His new TW best seems to be aligned pretty well, i think thats the model rsh was referring to.

My sub from Andrew was perfectly aligned, its the same as the one BK sell without the datewheel of course.... And thanks to my buddy R%# it will soon have the correct hands installed and relumed... Thanks again buddy!!!!

It depends on what you mean by "aligned." For me, if the crown at 12 is actually at 12, that's "aligned." The rest of the ROLEXROLEXROLEX is not even close, but everybody already knows that about noobs I assume.

I had one of the very first Noobfactory Milgauss GV 21J, and the rehaut engraving was perfectly aligned all the way around.
As is my WM9 Sub. Why is it so hard to get right when obviously some have done it?

 

[Wuggy]

I wish--if they can't get it right--that they'd just leave it off.

Mine is slightly off. If I move it over about a quarter of a mm everything will line up correctly. The R and the X will also line up perfectly. How can you fix this? Can you just turn it? I've never opened any of my watches before and am a little paranoid to. Is there a thread on this?
