In 2019 we ran an interesting four-part series by Tim Mosso of Watchbox fame detailing the history, present, and future of Rolex movements.

Rolex Submariner Reference 114060

Tim put hours and hours’ worth of research into this oeuvre, and now, as we settle into the fall of 2022, I thought it well worth drawing your attention to this series in case you missed it the first time around.

If you haven’t seen it yet, hold on to your hat and settle into your seat: it’s one helluva great read.
