Underrated... not sure why!

To me, it'd be like purchasing a car with the details of the powertrain printed on the hood.

Two comments -

First, honestly I don’t even see the gas escapement valve text on the ring lock. The dial just focuses you away from that very small text written around the circumference of the most beautiful dial in the Rolex lineup.



Secondly, I love my hood covered with engine and drivetrain specs on my hood!

When you consider the premium paid for other hot sports models such as the GMT models and Skydweller then perhaps it is under rated by comparison to those bearing in mind it’s beauty and uniqueness, I love mine.
