This was a common execution for the American market, offering the prestige of a precious metal case with the robust, everyday utility that defines Rolex. It moves the watch from a simple steel instrument into a more formal category, all while maintaining the classic 34mm proportions that wear comfortably in any situation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Texture Makes The Watch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat distinguishes this example is its grey dial, finished with a fine horizontal texture.
