Thanks! This is actually a great analysis and exactly what I was looking for. How did you find this? I googled rolex teardown and rolex deconstruction, but it didn't give me results like this

I have asked the exact same question in my first two months here…

You don’t have a boss here D. Unfortunately.

Had it in my photo storage for a few years....no ideas where I originally got it.

Guys, remember this is the flame-free zone. Lets play nice. Thank you fellas.
We need to keep this area safe especially for the new ones.

We were helping!!! He asked a question, we answered it!!!

That's as flame free as it gets. Next you'll be telling me you want your BK Whopper oven baked!!!

No flame zone that this is, how challenging would it be to create a thin strip of metal or something which looks like it, and engrave or otherwise make the engraving look alike marks on it while flat, put it around a cylinder mandrel with the text facing inwards, weld it or seal it shut in a space between the text, and use it as a rehaut overlay in a manner not dissimilar to a DWO?

I considered that hideous prospect and decided against it. It would be a travesty.

This is actually done kinda on GMF daydate tungsten variants to keep the engraving quality while having a tungsten case.

A metal plated ring is engraved per the rehaut and slotted into the case.

Do note that it is not gen spec at all whatsoever.

I was actually thinking this as a solution to my problem, however this would raise 2 more issues:

1. If you do that, the rehaut would have to be smaller than usual
2. Instead, if you sand out the current rehaut, you could probably weld it down over the sanded out one, but i don't know how stable that would be

but I guess its feasible

....ok I'm lost and trying not to flame..... What exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you not like the current engraving on your rehalt? With a few exceptions like the dssd, The rehalt is machined from the same metal block as the mid case. You have three possible options. One, if you're looking for a no rehault engraving as you would see in an older five-digit then the rehalt can be sanded it down. Two, you don't like the engraving but have a newer model which requires it. This would require you to reach out to one of the limited number of people who could engrave the rehalt somewhat close to genuine's appearance. I honestly don't think you'll improve any high-end replica beyond where currently is. The third option would be if you're not happy with the engravings on your rehault is to buy a couple different makers and see which one you like the best. Although doing some research, you can get a pretty good idea of what to expect from each maker.

Why are you so pain-in-the-s to redo a rehaut or getting a gen one? AFAIK, they are never that terrible.

It's not really related to this thread, yet I can't keep it to myself anymore: I have to ask my fellow German-speakers on here...

Aren't you also quite irritated by the term "Rehaut"?

The opposite of "Re" (Rück) in German is "Vor".

Wouldn't the opposite of "Rehaut" be "Vor..."?

Uhh, huh huh... Uhhh, huh huh huh

 

[eBoy]

Don't despair. In a few decades, it will luckily all be over for us...

But I can relate.

You're kinda contradicting yourself, no?

I’d love to know how to do that via a method other than what I suggested earlier in this thread… I really want to engrave something dumb on a rehaut or rehaut overlay.

Not until you mention. Now I can't help but imagine how OP wants a gen Vorhaut or redo his...

Umm, I also thought rehaut was separate, . Sure I watched some video about it and it looked like it was removalable. Glad I haven’t asked same question.
