Oysterquartz,gen 1 dial
Looking at this
https://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/dat...-id9291708.htm And wondered whether Buckley dial was original to the early ,1st generation (1977,78) Rolex Oysterquartz. |

Not sure if a buckley is original to the first couple years as ive only seen them later on but where it says OYSTERQUARTZ on the dial is in the correct location for a first gen OQ.

Seller says not a buckley but it has the roman numerals on the dial and the black hands?

I have an OQ approx 1980-81 with similar roman dial with black hands.
Small differences, Rolex, Oysterquartz, DateJust all at the top SC, OC at bottom of the dial. I always assumed mine to be a Buckley. Will post pictures later.

That would be a second generation dial because it says OYSTERQUARTZ at the top of the dial.
