Rolex Oyster Date With Applied Rolex Dial Logo


Martin's Rolex OYSTERDATE
With Applied Rolex Dial Logo

I always really liked the Rolex vintage watches with the applied Rolex logo on the dial. An applied Rolex logo on the dial differs from all Rolex watches today which have the ROLEX logo or name printed on the dial.

The reason it is named "Applied" is because each letter has feet under it that slot into tiny holes on the dial to secure them to the dial. I prefer Applied because the gold letters are much more dimensional and not only add more visual interest, but also glow or shimmer under different lighting conditions.

I also dig the red date on the date wheel, which gives the watch moxie!!!!
