With white painting texts, what is the exact formal colour of this dial? It's champagne gold, brown or creamy coffee...? Further, can we say it's in good condition? Thanks in advance!

JustinK · 17 March 2015, 04:05 AM

Champagne or bronze looking to me. I have a bronze dial that looks brown or champagne depending on the lighting.

Looks good here

11 o'clock marker looks slightly off, but maybe just the angle?

More photos at different angles, is it an original one with factory diamonds setting?

It's called bronze

Very very good condition with all plots intact and evenly patina'd.

Yes, those two diamond hour markers seem a bit moving off from the window...Why? Custom added aftermarket diamonds?

Not at all, that's exactly what it should look like.

I think it is due to the dayfield. I looked at a modern day date at a rolex ad and they areoffset in the same way. http://www.nymansur.com/produkt-bild...ckdiamonds.jpg

Thank you all!

That Day Date is in fantastic condition. Have you already purchased it?

My 18078 came with a black Roman dial, but I switched it over to this.

To be frank, the order has already been confirmed with the seller, just waiting for my pressing button. However, new unexpected issue of uncertainty of the certificate arose.

Buyers remorse?

No remorse for the watch...I'm just afraid of the certificate's not 100% real as the items described.

I've been waiting...no further explanations from the seller. Better go to sleep...!

you are from hong kong? why not send it to RSC to take a look. while i think the dial is good, rsc will tell you if the dial does indeed come orignally with the watch.
