I bought this dial on EBay and after taking a closer look, realized the minute markers were longer than what they should be. This is supposed to be for a 16613 and I’m curious if anyone can tell me whether they offered a dial with minute markers like this. The dial is extremely high quality and it kind of surprises me that someone would go to the expense of making this dial without getting the markings perfect.

The printing on the dial is poor too and the crown seems to have an odd shape

The surrounds of the lumes are too thick...IMO.

Can you post a bigger picture of the back of the dial?

Alcan:

I don’t have a lens that will take a picture that close and found a picture of the back of a Submariner dial online that looks identical as far as machining and post locations.

The diameter is 27.25 mm and it is stamped on the back with SINGER + SINGER + SINGER with an inscribed set of numbers with a triangle in front and then 8371.

The dial appears brand new and is an absolutely stunning blue. The picture I posted previously doesn’t do it justice as it is every bit a perfect dial in quality and craftsmanship.

I’ve owned several Submariners and I put this dial next to any of those dials and not know the difference, except for the length of the minute markers.

Is it possible this is an original Rolex dial that has been refinished? I paid $250 for it, which was pretty low. A used original in this condition would more than likely sell for $500.
