cal. 3135 jewels count
How many jewels are inside Rolex Cal. 3135 ?

While doing a bit of research on jewels, I've decided - for the first time ever- to actually count the number of jewels in Rolex Cal. 3135. To my surprise, the total count is 40 - not 31 as marked on the auto bridge. Obviously there has to be a reason behind this- either I am not counting properly or some jewels are not to be counted :-)
