There is no mistake dial.
For some reason there was the rumor that the GMT with the ll font on the right was somehow a mistake. How these rumors get started I'll never know:  Here's mine..

There's the II, ll, and a third that's a mix of the two. Obviously none are mistakes.

The whole "mistake dial" thing is just hype. It's just a different font. Rolex is keeping it interesting by playing to the collectors a little bit.
Is Lawrence the first to really hype this up or is he picking it up from the collector market? |
