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.
