Minsu: Then it would be great if you could go with us! Do you have any other plans?


Younghee: Hmm, the trip sounds good, but if I go, I think I’ll be really tired, so I’m unsure.


Minsu: Anyway, the trip will be fun! Then when will you decide?


Younghee: I’ll probably decide tonight. So I’ll contact you then.

It's an incredibly link effect albeit a bit dizzying. At link the edge of the top crystal the watch also features a pulsometer scale which overlaps the borosilicate dial pattern and is only visible at certain angles. At oblique angles, the effect fades away to some extent and link takes on another light.

Then something happened. In 2019, Rolex announced a new version of my watch. It looked pretty much the link same only now it was fitted to a Jubilee bracelet. Inside ticked a new movement which was sign-posted by a Rolex coronet on the dial between SWISS and MADE. Allegedly, the case design was tweaked (just a hair) to accommodate the new bracelet and link to keep clients from swapping out the Jubilee for an Oyster link bracelet or vice versa.
