The types of the Rolex watch cases

When purchasing a Rolex, one of the most important factors to consider is the watch case. Buyers, both men and women, always want to buy a high end Rolex watch with nice watch case. Rolex watch cases are mainly divided into several types of gold case, gold-plated case, gold bezel case, and half stainless steel case. The watch design and color is changing. Actually many watch movements of the Swiss Rolex have no so much changes, just the updating on the case and style constantly to be fond of.

 Why some watch cases thicker than others

A thicker case is needed to protect the watch at greater depths.If a watch is supposed to be water resistant at a considerable depth, the watch needs a thick or thicker case in order to protect the movement against the pressure from the water. For example, Rolex Submariner is quite possibly the most recognized and the world’s most famous divers watch on the market which is water resistant at 300 m/1000 ft, and the case is rather thin and compact. The “bigger brother” – the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea, which is water resistant at 3900 m/12800 ft, is considerably thicker than Replica Rolex Submariner, in order to withstand the pressure from the sea at greater depths. In addition, there are another reason why some watch cases thicker than others. A chronograph movement is thicker than a non-chronograph movement. A chronograph movement has more functions added to it, is therefore thicker and larger, and therefore needs a thicker case.

How to check the authenticity of a Rolex Watch by watch cases

Observe the watch case back. There are no current models in existence to sport a transparent case back. Only some very rare 1930 models and the Cellini Prince model have been manufactured with a transparent back. Plus, Rolex watches typically do not have a any engravings on the outside of the case back. The only exceptions being certain lady's Rolex watches, the Sea-Dweller watch, which contains the wording "Rolex Oyster Original Gas Escape Valve" and two Rolex logos, as well as some early TUDOR models, some of which contain the wording "Original Oyster Case by Rolex."  Besides,  observe the case reference numbers. Reference numbers are engraved with great precision and are very smooth on an authentic Rolex watch. A counterfeit watch will possess case reference numbers which are roughly etched into the case.

There are two numbers that are located on the outside of a typical Rolex watch case. These numbers are located between the lugs of the case and requires that the watch band be removed in order to see them. These numbers are etched into the case and at times they can be difficult to see due to wear. The number located at the 12 position is the Registered Design number. This number tells you how the watch was originally manufactured and what materials were used. The number located at the 6 position is nothing more than the serial number of the case. This number at times can be used to determine an approximate date of manufacture, however, this is not reliable as Rolex over the years has duplicated serial numbers.

Rolex watches love to use precious metals, 18 k gold, white gold, rose gold and so on. Besides the precious gold, Rolex also utilizes the 904L stainless steel alloy(the highest steel grade on the market). Besides, most modern Rolex timepieces are equipped with a new clasp system called “glidelock” which can be used to adjust the bracelet on the fly without having to use any tools whatsoever. This is completely unique to Rolex. As we all knows, Rolex watches look simple and elegant without too complicated design, so it can be said the price is material money, but other expensive price with the same material will add design research and development and artificial cost into the final price because of the complicated design, but on the contrary, Rolex is loved by so many watch-lovers just because it's pure and accurate.
