Swiss made dial? Need advice
Hi, can anyone tell me if the below 'Swiss Made' under 6 o'clock is wrong for this OP 6494. Correct me if I'm wrong, "Swiss Made' only appear after 2000 when luminova was used. When they took out the 'T' and went to 'Swiss' from 1990 and then to 'Swiss MAde' in 2000.
No question this is a refinished dial, just want to know if the detail was done wrong. Thanks. |

What about the date window? Mind you I am not an expert on vintage Rolex so I will let the experts comment on this.

@Fly.Back
Yes, that's a refinished dial...a bad one at that. Regarding your statement: "Correct me if I'm wrong, "Swiss Made' only appear after 2000 when luminova was used." I will correct you, that statement is wrong. _______ Instagram: @onthedial |

Yours has 'T-Swiss Made-T' which is surely to appear on dials before 2000, thats common. But the one in my photo is 'Swiss Made' without the 'Ts'. Rolex used 'Swiss Made' only before titrium was used and went back to it again when it switched to Luminova in the newer models. Really hope someone can help clarify this. |

Also..where are the lume dots? The hands are lume? No dots. It's refinished. It think it's fairly obvious. |

The magnification of the date window on that crystal is horrible! Too many things wrong in just one picture, I would walk away unless it is priced so low that you can correct everything with correct parts.
