We now see that the vast majority of Rolex is the chain table, the model of multi belt. But in the beginning, the Rolex oyster bracelet is only used in the early bubble back and Rolex watch on. Other watches are optional belt, until one day (1952), Rolex made a significant improvement to the oyster bracelet, let oyster watchband really become familiar to us. Rolex is the first chain hanging on the table between the shaft between the ears, there is a gap between the chain and the case. Hung on the shaft of the chain on the omega uk ear shaft pressure, left a security risk, Rolex in 1952 added a link in the chain of the end, let the chain into the present case and integrated style, since then, Rolex began to dominate the day under the metal belt. The first to use the "modern" Oyster bracelet watch is Rolex launched in 1954 6542 Greenwich GMT, then the first generation Rolex exploration, the first generation drowner began using the oyster bracelet.

So far, Rolex oyster bracelet has experienced 3 generations, now in oyster Bracelet sale watch is a modified version of the third generation.

The first generation of oyster Bracelet: characteristics of the first generation of oyster bracelet bracelet "screw". We can easily see that every link of the first generation oyster Bracelet (on both ends of the link) has a screw inserted in the chain ends. This is to identify the characteristics of the first generation of oyster bracelet.

The second generation oyster Bracelet: characteristics of the second generation oyster Bracelet "folding bracelet". We can see that the chain is a piece of metal from both sides to folded. In the chain in the shaft wear from the outside of the invisible, hidden in the inside of the chain link. This is a feature of the second generation oyster bracelet.

The third generation oyster Bracelet: third chain is characterized by "sealing bracelet". That's what we're all about. The chain section in the side sealed, no screws, no fold, is a whole chain. Rolex oyster Bracelet now is this appearance (note that I just said, this is the appearance of the same) characteristics of the third generation.

Now we are using the common Rolex third generation oyster Bracelet type. The third generation oyster Bracelet most in need of attention is the question of hollow and solid. Link third generation oyster bracelet from the side is sealed, but the third generation oyster chain link first is hollow. The outside is sealed, but the inside is hollow. Once the idea that Rolex is to put the bracelet made of hollow, because in order to reduce the weight of the watch (which is just a guess), but no matter what the reason, the hollow chain has some problems are inevitable. Not strong aside, there is really a hollow chain shelter evil people and countenance evil practices in particular, in the summer, sweating, out of the oil more time. Rolex themselves should also be aware of the problem, so in 2010 (my impression is that may be a little ahead of 2010) began to change into solid hollow chain chain chain of the chain is a solid metal block. Moreover, in addition to the chain, before the oyster bracelet and case where the connection is hollow, but also take the opportunity to change the solid. So, for example, the new and old yacht, old models 16622 and 116622 new types of links, the old is hollow, a new solid (drowner too), one high and one low price between old and new, there is a reason. The new models are much better than the previous ones.

There is a problem that needs to be noted in the antique Rolex collection. I learned that some people take the collection of antique Rolex, take the official Rolex aftermarket maintenance. In the maintenance process, Rolex hublot replica watches official will be some old parts for new parts. We generally feel that Rolex's service is so good, so meticulous. But it's not necessarily good news for amateurs, because their watches are not original.

In addition to Rolex, declare in no uncertain terms, I never cared about any other watch chain, because Rolex chain will directly affect the sale of watches. One of the biggest features of Rolex is the recognition of fake rolex each model. Rolex looks almost the same, but through some of the details on the watch, a small place can be divided into a new model or the old model. The chain is one of the most obvious feature recognition Rolex new models and the old model. Now on the market a lot of Rolex, 5 bit number of the old and the new maximum number of 6 bits. The yacht mentioned in the previous 16622 and 116622 is a very good example. Two meter yacht is almost no difference, on the core of shock absorbers, gossamer these small details we can not see, so only through the chain. 16622 and 116622 of the chain is obviously different, a glance. We often see such a situation, the table sells a boat, model of the target is 116622, the price is very low (lower than the general price of 116622), exciting, a chain that is 16622, the original is the wrong size. This is why I don't know the other table chain only know why a little Rolex chain.
