Rolex, its followers, and the watch community as a whole have an interesting way of coming up with Rolex terminology, nicknames, and "fancy" terms to describe parts of Rolex products and certain models. But what exactly do they all refer to?
Jon Callahan is next up in the chair to give us all a lesson on Rolex and the terms you might see pop up in online forums or that are used officially by the company. There are watches like the Smurf and the Fat Lady, and watch parts like fluted and root beer bezels, that may require a slightly more in depth explanation.
What is the Paul Newman Daytona? How is Everose gold different? What exactly is a spider dial? What's the hype of vintage Rolex? All these questions and more answered on Episode 2 of The Classroom!
