SCORES
Bracelet and clasp (max. 10 points) Well-finished steel bracelet with easy-to-use, solid folding clasp and sophisticated extension piece 10
Operation (5) Crown is easy to grasp and unscrew, and the time can be set quickly and accurately thanks to the hack mechanism. 5
Case (10) The elaborate inner shield completes the well-finished steel case. 9
Design (15) Very attractive, contemporary dial design with hints of its historical models. Sporty yet elegant 14
Legibility (5) Only the reflective crystal dims the overall good legibility of the high-contrast hands and large markers. Easy to read at night 4
Wearing comfort (10) No pinching or scratching: the wearing comfort for a watch with a steel bracelet is exceptionally good. 10
Movement (20) Nothing to improve in the engineering or unpretentious decorations. Rolex has done groundbreaking research to improve the hairspring. 18
Rate results (10) Adequate rate results, though we’re used to better from Rolex. 8
Overall value (15) The price is appropriate, especially since the watch can likely be resold at a higher price. Unfortunately, obtaining one is difficult. 14
