What exactly is a Chapter Ring?

[CFC]

chapter ring appears on a newer series starting from late "D" series or "F" series onwards but it does not mean command higher price.Just that the watch is newer.

I think this has been mentioned here several times already. You want to do a search first?

Thanks but somehow I just could not understand what has been said. Is it the engraving inside the 'wall'?
But most importantly, Chapter Ring means it can command a higher price?
Sorry but I really new in this hobby

What exactly is a Chapter Ring?

Hi All

I keep seeing this term 'Chapter Ring' popping up when a seller advertise his Rolex for sale.

Can anyone advise what exactly is a Chapter Ring?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bros, can anyone advice on what is SEL (solid end link)? Engraved chapter ring? On a black sub 16610LN.

Thanks!

benefits of SEL include lesser wear on the rear of the lugs, and the end links sit quietly on the watch head.

the downside includes... protrusion of the bracelet (for smaller wrists) as the SEL juts the bracelet out before it tapers down.

the SEL also wear some metal off the case, but in places that are hidden from sight (the two ends where the engravings are located).

finally, if your watch has no lug holes, then installation of the bracelet/SEL can be a pain... the spring bars are also (IMO - this is subjective) less secure due to a shorter shoulder length.

i personally like lug holes and non SEL bracelets.

thank you bro for advicing.

SEL means that the bracelet on each end is solid (fixed on the bracelet itself), older model watches, the end link can be taken out from the bracelet. u can see it from the thickness of the end link attached on the watch. Engraved chapter ring is words engraved on the metal side just beside the dial itself

Just something to add in to bro drizzling's words. The chapter ring also has your watch's serial number engraved at 6 o'clock position.

The ROLEX Seadweller does not come with the engraved Rehaut, or "chapter ring", if you'll like to call it, no matter what series.

[lolex kia]

Just to clarify. Does the M series Sea Dweller come with Chapter Ring? No offense. Sorry for my ignorance...

M series sea-dweller no have chapter ring la.

sori, may i noe wat's chapter ring ? tks

If you are talking about where the Rolex Rolex Rolex is on the inner ring the correct terminology for this is the the Rehaut ring.
The chapter ring is just the minute markings around any dial on watch or clock.And from 2004 Serial F/D on some models the Rolex Rolex Rolex started on the Rehaut ring

If you bother to search here, I think you can get the answer. And on your qns, yes, some came with the chapter ring.
