Bob,
: Years ago I was interested in Rolex watchs. It
: seems to me I remember reading in their old
: brochures about Incabloc. Do you know if
: this a Rolex design or something others have
: been using for years.
Incabloc is used throughout the watch industry. Rolex uses the Kif suspension system, which also other brands use. Kif and Incabloc were probably invented by other watchmakers. I read through some watch-books, well, I flew over them, and remember that there were some French sounding names, but who really cares. What is of real interest to me is any performance difference between both, since some Rolex owners are so proud of Kif. In all books there was no performance difference shown, just that Kif and Incabloc are the two systems which proofed that they work and are therefore still used today.
Cheers,
Andreas
PS: I will continue to find out differences between Kif and Incabloc. There are so many more books out there.......
