勞力士霸的一點一劃,兩點,三點有何代表意義?


"肥殻,2 HALLMARK,波膠,兩點霸的, 大裝" What the hells are these terms? 

A Question from one of the reader Yan on 1 May. 一位香港師父問肥殼,2 HALLMARK, 波膠, 兩點霸的,大裝是甚麼意思,小弟繼一解答。

霸的上的點:

市面上較常見的勞力士把頭標誌有:短橫線、一個圓點、兩個圓點、及三個原點標誌,可讀出手錶材質及功能。

短橫線:最為常見,鋼錶或金鋼錶,及有雙重防水功能。
  一個圓點:手錶由鉑金製成;
  兩個圓點: 18K白金或黃金錶;
  三個原點(一樣大):40mm以上錶盤
      (多為運動款),三重防水,鋼錶或金鋼錶;
  三個原點(中間原點大):40mm以上錶盤,
        三重防水,鉑金錶;
  三個原點(兩邊原點大):40mm以上錶盤,
        三重防水,18K白金或黃金錶。

Rolex Crown Identification on material and Design in use

The crown emblem of Rolex Crown indicated the material of the Watch made and the Type of Twinlock and or Triplock design, below the crown, there are series of “Dots”, or “Slash” as shown on the illustration.


The Rolex crown to the owner of the watch only appears to be a single knob for setting the Watch. In fact, not including the crown gasket, the crown is actually made using four parts.

There is the large crown that is used to set the time, change the date, or wind the watch, a spring, a tube that goes into the case of the watch, and the part that the stem screws into.

This part engages the small spring inside the tube of the crown. The entire crown can be taken apart. The part that attaches to the stem has two small flats that are machined into it. This part is the one that engages the spring.

Each time we service the watch, we used to replace with a new silicone O-ring of the right size, then apply some silicones grease to act as water-resistant media and at same time to act as lubrication for the shaft when we adjust it.

Most of us don't know…when we unlock the crown, like we close the screw in cover of the jar, we should rotation it half turn on anti-clockwise direction to ensure the screw threads on the crown and the gasket geared properly before we rotate it clockwise to lock it. It will reduce the wearing off of the Crown Thread, the first frontier for your Rolex Water Proof!
